    fantastic spot with easy access to beach and dining

    during my stay, I loved how easy it was to walk to Palm Cove Beach, just a few steps away, and the local eateries like Chill Cafe, which served great meals, were incredibly close for a delicious and convenient dining experience.

    The condition of some apartments left a lot to be desired. In one unit, the carpet was stained, and the kitchen lacked essential items like a dish drainer and sufficient coffee cups. some outdoor furniture was uncomfortable and worn down. With several empty shops in disrepair nearby, it gave a disheveled vibe as we strolled towards the beach. management could really benefit from a revamp of the facilities significantly.

    maintenance issues
    dated decor

    The stay was quite enjoyable, especially with the amazing pool area and its lush surroundings. The room offered a nice view overlooking the pool, which made relaxing in the evenings enjoyable. the unit did show its age with some maintenance issues, such as the air conditioning needing a clean and the overall decor being very dated. We were close to several attractions, including the Palm Cove jetty and local restaurants, which made our visits easy and accessible.

    spacious room
    beautiful gardens
    cleanliness issue

    Had an amazing time with friends! The pool area was fantastic, surrounded by beautiful gardens. It was great to have a spacious room with a nice balcony for relaxed evenings. We enjoyed easy access to the beach and nearby restaurants and cafes for meals. Highly recommend checking out the vibrant local eateries and the beautiful surroundings.

    We did experience some issues with our apartment needing a bit more attention to cleanliness and maintenance, which was surprising given the overall relaxed vibe of the place.

    Recommend it for families seeking relaxation

    The service was surprisingly attentive, they even offered to replenish our coffee supplies daily! Plus, having a washing machine in the room was a lifesaver for the kids' mess, very helpful.

    It wasn't cheap, but for a family getaway, it was still reasonable.
