This is a wonderful retreat with a great staff and very comfortable surroundings. The owners are active in the operation and greet you by name and making sure everything is to your liking There is a large pool and hot tub for relaxation and plenty of lounge chairs. The large bar and restaurant have ample seating so you never feel your cramped. You can socialize or do your own thing.
My only negatives are the wi-fi on site is spotty, sometimes it works well other time not. It does not seem to have good coverage in the beach front rooms. The other thing is, and this is mentioned by others the showers are not fully enclosed so if you don't want water all over the bathroom use caution where you aim the shower head.
Staff were very friendlyDinner menu was goodBar was good
Location was badBreakfast was poorRate was high
Great scenery nice and relaxing
The Fing loud music it's over the top .2 nights running we were sitting finished our dinner and so fwit turned up the music LOUD couldn't hear the person next to me .It's very discourteous. I would suggest for everything that is nice about the Facility that leaves a bad taste in my mouth about the stay .I won't be going back
I loved the location, right on the beautiful beach, set in tropical vegetation, with birds moving around the branches, singing and swawking. The public areas such as the bar, swimming pool and spa were lovely and well maintained.The food and drinks were excellent, an interesting menu for very reasonable prices and imaginative cocktails.The staff were friendly, helpful and welcoming and they ensured a smooth check in when I arrived late to my room.The atmosphere is very friendly as typified by the dinners with other guests on the long tables.
The beach was lovely - the staff friendly when we arrived and helpful - and that's where it stopped.
I dont feel its appropriate to give my personal opinion - suffice to say this is our last stay here.
Wow, what a unique hidden gem! We were so privileged to stay here. Thank you!This is the perfect place for a very special time in a stunning location. There is great respect for others.and everyone is welcome. You can just have a quiet time or do what you want. The staff were very kind and helpful.Lovely atmosphere, great food, amazing sun rises, beach walk, look for nature, beautiful pool and spa.Recommend beach front units.It was very quiet when we were there.
Perfect location, friendly staff, breakfast included, good facilities, great atmosphere, great setup of outdoor hammocks and tables and chairs
self made breakfast is a good idea but some basics like cheese were missingit was too much chlorine in the spa so everyone had teary eyes when the spa was running
Great location, managers and staff were very helpful and generous. Great food.
Nothing but if wanting quiet nights you need to check when events are on as they like to party.
A wonderful location. Beautiful scenery. In particular, we really appreciated the work of all the staff at the resort. Everyone was very friendly and approachable. Any issues were resolved promptly. We made friends with lots of guests as well. We will be back.
There are beautiful peacocks roaming on the property. It's absolutely lovely. However, they leave poo just about everywhere. It was not a big problem for us though. Just need to watch where you stand after a few drinks.
The staff were very friendly and the beach front location was great. These were the only positive aspects of the resort.
The resort is run down. It very disappointing that no effort has been made to upgrade the rooms and beds were terrible. I fully understand the value of an adult gay resort that it offers a safe space for the LGBTQ community. However, I do feel that they have taken advantage of the community by the over priced accommodation and average food at the resort. I barely ate my meals as quality was appalling with a price tag of $35 for sausages and mash potatoes. I’m so sorry and feel bad that i wouldn’t recommend staying at this resort for what you pay for.
VERY FRIENDLY host/staff and accomodating. Made friends along the stay which was wee bit too short for us. Very comfortable area. One of the Highlights of our stay was the beautiful peacock that made us doesnt feel like we’re in Australia. Would love to stay there again when there’s an event happening.
If you don’t have a car, it’ll be a trouble for u to get around but hey, we do have ours! ;)
Amazing staff who make you feel incredibly welcome. The rooms are on the older side but clean and comfortable and have everything you need, including fridge. Breakfast was self serve and has everything you'd want.
It's twenty minutes outside of Port Douglas but you will need a car to explore this part of the world, anyway so not an issue.
Location is second to none. Awesome staff. Food is incredible.
Room is a little tired and bed could do with an upgrade, but perfectly comfy. Didn’t spend much time in the room anyway
What an amazing place, such a good place to chill if that is you are wanting or party if that is what you are wanting. The rooms are well equipped with everything you need and the pool/ bar area helps to allow for guests to meet each other. The managers are so fun and very accommodating. The location was beautiful so secluded so very private feels like you are in your own little oasis.
I made the mistake of not hiring a car from cairns, defiantely hire a car if you plan on doing some exploring.
Fantastic natural location teeming with wildlife, I particularly enjoyed watching the turtles swimming close to shore in the cove.
The rooms are dated however that is of no consequence in this setting.
Nice location, staff were very Fri friendly
Bathroom was disgusting, yellow / mould stains in the grout and no shower curtain or screen, the bathroom ends up like a dirty lake. Place is in bad shape overall very old and screens / doors have holes in them and in disrepair. Place looks like it hasn’t been renovated since the 90’s and really needs to be renovated. Basically feels very dirty staying here. Bed and sheets were okay, the rest was not nice.
