Wonderful stay for our family of 6. Rooms are spacious, luxurious and well appointed. The property is vast and you rarely see other guests which adds to the privacy feeling. The spa wasn’t working due to a recent weather event. Other than that, everything was excellent. The family that owns/manages the property were friendly and attentive. A logical stay in Palm Cove. Will be back again.

The property was just like the pictures - beautiful and clean. Only thing we would have liked to add is cleaning services. We were there for 4 nights but apparently they provide free cleaning only after a week of stay. For beach days with sand in the bathrooms etc a more frequent cleaning would really help

The family running the property made the stay so easy - they supported an early check in and late check out and were always on hand to answer any questions. The pool is fantastic and the grounds are well looked after. We will be back!

8/10 Very Good

We stayed in a suite. It was large, private, clean and had all the conveniences we needed. The TV was huge - great for watching a movie in down time. The hot water was a little unreliable at times, but given the hot days whilst there it didn’t really bother us. Although it did not bother us, some couples may not appreciate the ‘open’ bathroom and the lack of personal privacy. The pool is large and well maintained. And the tropical gardens are beautiful and lush. Palm Cove is so walkable and offers many lovely dining options. We would happily stay at this property again should the opportunity arise in the future.

The Best!
You know the type of place that you don't want to review because you are afraid that everyone will find out about your secret? Even so, I feel compelled to write this because they did such a great job. The property itself is tastefully constructed; about 20 units in 3 buildings (plenty of parking), nestled in the forest next to a lagoon with waterlilies and a charming wooden bridge. (A 2-minute walk to the very fine esplanade, which is a great place to hang out and get dinner your first night). My unit was on the 2nd floor, and I felt that I was living in a tree house, because all I could see (the living area is entirely windowed) was lush forest - palms, eucalyptus and ferns. (And could hear the delightful calls and chirping of birds). The property has a gorgeous, long, and rectangular pool (with attached spa and shallow wading areas) which I swam in every day. The apartment itself was huge, fully equipped (I cooked almost every meal) and comfortable. Finally, the property manager was gracious, kind, informative and generous with their time. They really improved my stay with great advice about the area. 10 out of 10 -- I didn't want to leave.

A great location, quiet and the managers are very helpful. A little tired in places in the apartment but nothing a coat of paint wouldn’t solve. The swimming pool was clean and a good size. The apartment is a great size with everything that you need. Construction up the road caused internet access to be non existent but to be honest we didn’t care
