    Cons -

    • The cabin was awful. Really dated and run down. We couldn't even lock our sliding door because it was broken. Only the fly/security screen was lockable. Trim missing on parts of the walls, cracks and grime in tiles, curtains stained and dirty, cutlery tray had bits in it. Windowsills dirty with hair on. Peeling paint. There's a real issue with condensation and damp so when we checked in the air-conditioning was on really cold which we realised was the only way to keep the cabin dry. A couple of the lights weren't working. Just a real lack of care and maintenance. We all had the 'ick' from the cabin and were glad we only booked for two nights. Went to sweep some of the mud up from our shoes and the broom had some clumps of hair and dirt from other guests. Really not nice. It's a shame because we've got to come back to Townsville in a few weeks but won't be staying again.
    • There are a few minor maintenance things to be looked at in the near future, but it didn't in anyway affect my stay. Locks on doors need some love and gutters/roof leafy matter need a tidy up,however in saying that I see the black cockatoos enjoy the trees,there a magnificent bird,however they must keep you guys very busy.
    • 2 bedroom unit, 2nd bedroom had no aircon or fan. The couch was dirty and stained. Overall state of the cabin wasn't the cleanest.

    Proximity to the ocean. Excellent air conditioning. The fridge when we arrived was under performing, spoke with the office and a brand new fridge arrived within the hour. Staff even loaded all our groceries in the fridge for us.

    We had to go home!

    10LorettaPosted on: 2-3-2026

    We always love our stay here, ocean view villa is very relaxing, comfortable bed and clean villa, nice walk along the beach, its our place to unwind and enjoy the seabreeze and ocean views, staff are always friendly and helpful

    8CrystalPosted on: 1-27-2026

    We loved the villa and the view. Staff were friendly.

    I thought the villa we stayed in come with a bbq but it didnt. I thought it was dissapointing that for a week stay there was only 2 toilet rolls provided and no new towels supplied during the week. The wifi wasnt the greatest in the villa. .

    Clean, comfortable and great location

    Great location, clean and comfortable

    9ErikaPosted on: 1-24-2026

    Great location, exceptional service with friendly staff. Our cabin was well equipped and very comfortable. The pool area was great with the shade sails over half of the pool. Information/brochures were available for local attractions which made it easy when planning our days.

    The only thing that we all thought could be improved on was the pillows as they were very soft.

    4JessicaPosted on: 1-19-2026

    Will not be returning.

    Cabin was old and run down, ceilings were bubbles, lights didn’t work in range hood. Cracked light in ceiling light. So many mozzies and sandflies you get carried away. Pool area had so many rules, pretty much sit and in the water.

    We absolutely loved our stay, family oriented and accommodated to cost considering flooding while travelling on holiday.

    8TrudiPosted on: 1-7-2026

    Loved the cleanliness and there was everything I needed

    The keys were too hard to get in and out

    6HolliePosted on: 1-5-2026

    Great location

    Room was full of little ants. The party travelling with us had the stinkiest room. They had to move. A little outdated

    10TamikaPosted on: 12-26-2025

    The view and the price

    Not enough sugar and coffee and milk

    8LachiePosted on: 12-25-2025

    The facilities were great

    Our room was really old, very dusty and it was unclean. The bunk beds were soft, you could feel the ground through the mattress.

    No proper air conditioning. WiFi not working

    8MargaretPosted on: 12-22-2025

    For a short overnight stay for us, overal experience was ok. Place was clean, welcoming short walk to the bathroom to ca in.

    Cabin needs more updating but overall not bad.
