This has to be one of the nicest places we have stayed. My biggest regret is that we didn't stay longer

The location was spectacular being a few steps from the beach but close to drive into town. Loved seeing sunset and sunrise, plus kangaroos hopping through.

The inside was so well laid out with everything needed for an enjoyable stay. We wish we could have stayed longer and brought all of our family along. I would...

Overnight at the start and end of a trip to Heron Island. This place is exceptional and the rate we paid on Hotels.com does not do it justice. Even has a free washer/dryer in the unit with provided soap! Could not ask for more. Brand new.

Great place to stay if you're traveling north, as it's a nice day's driving distance from Brisbane to pull in for the night. Pet friendly, nice clean rooms, and comfortable beds after a long day in the car. Highly recommended!!
