Amazing breakfast variety. Fast room service. Extra touches in room were lovely surprises - chocolates, chips, and juices etc. All staff were really friendly. Only 2 slight negatives (neither a huge deal) was coffee not being great and finding a few hairs in the shower.
The staff were wonderful and helpful. The room was fantastic with lovely views and the hotel has great amenities including pool and a lagoon. We look forward to returning!

Was disappointed during my last stay, and had hoped things had improved this stay. It’s obvious some renovation has happened but sadly the main building and ‘beach’ pool need a refurb. We did have some positive staff interactions but overall staff need to pay attention to detail - gardens and grounds (bottles left in flower beds, nappy on the lawn). Had to follow up on things. Still a beautiful location though.
Most staff were very helpfull but Gabi from pool bar and Veronica from breakfast were super good 5 stars service!. Always keen to help us and with a sincere smile on their faces. Definitely going again. Thank you

Room great, service exceptional, location awesome ……. Only “complaint” would be the lack of table staff option in the lagoon bar. Appreciate its casual dining but as a family of four ordering, with the arrival timing of different meals, different flow rate for guests, any additions required…. Every interaction involved leaving the table and standing in a long line at the bar. Disrupted a family meal quite a lot.
Clean room and great size. Staff were great and breakfast superb. Love the lagoon pool and plenty of lounges around the pool except a lot of people putting towels on lounges early to hold them and then returning 2 hours later to use them. Doesn’t seem fair
Nice serene getaway with great facilities, firendly and helpful staff. Great to see Kangaroos at peace around the property. Family or Couple great place to stay.
