The property managers, Ed and May, are very welcoming and accommodating. The apartment was very clean and well equiped with everything you need. The location is perfect, but you do need transport, with shops nearby and the beach across the road. There were markets at the beach on the Saturday with local crafts so a nice touch. A relaxing place to stay so if you are looking for a rowdy weekend this is not for you and for good reason. Highly recommend as a place to stay.

Three days at Yorkeys
The York is perfectly located on the beachfront at Yorkeys Knob and east walking distance to supermarket and cafes. Yorkeys Knob is much quieter than Trinity Beach or Palm Cove so the choice of dine out options without a car is limited but this also means it is not busy. Our apartment was spacious, clean and comfortable however the decor was a little dated. The grounds including the large pool are very well maintained and the on-site managers were very helpful. I would stay here again.

I enjoyed my stay but didn't get any advance communication about the check-in until the morning of, which I didn't see, and they seemed a bit annoyed when I arrived at 6pm - mentioned they were waiting for me as I hadn't responded. Unit had everything I needed, but some kitchen stuff seemed old and a bit grimy. Unit is a bit dated, but had everything I needed and priced well. There is no real ocean view as it's completely blocked by trees, so just be aware. That said, it is right across the street from the ocean/beach, so nice for walks, etc.

The property was in a lovely location but a bit rundown though the new managers were making repairs. I would say it will be wonderful once they have it all done

A great property in a quiet location. We had a spacious one bedroom apartment. The balcony was a quiet spot to enjoy the sights and calmness of Yorkey's knob.

4/10 Fair

Not happy
Our room needed a serious update. The lounge and bedroom furniture were very uncomfortable. The bedroom was quite hot at night even with the fan and aircon going. The robe was small and inadaquate for extended stays, as were the kitchen cupboards. We got limited to no phone reception in our room. In our two week stay the sheets and towels were changed however there was no other housekeeping done. Numerous other problems that were not up to a satisfactory standard.

Great spot for a quiet getaway by the beach
We stayed for a month and didn't rent a car, so the bus stop across the street is extremely convenient. The system is easy to navigate, so we were able to get everywhere but come home to a quiet spot on the beach. We loved our balcony, ate most of our meals there, and enjoyed the beautiful trees and birds.

Well equipped holiday apartment
The setting was beautiful, immaculate gardens with several different palms and under planting. The accommodation was spacious with a generous balcony and kitchen which has more than expected in it. The beach was just across the road and never crowded even over the bank holiday.

Yorkeys Knob stay
The room was a good size and layout for a couple, lovely gardens, nice pool, easy check-in, good location although the beach wasn't very inviting. The downside was the lack of cleanliness in the apartment. Just because it is an older apartment building doesn't mean it can't still look good if well presented. We stayed in apartment 4 on the ground floor which was great but it was grubby - cobwebs around cornices and front door, light switches were yuk, under microwave was gross, shelves in kitchen cupboards were dusty, top of fans filthy. Such a shame because a good spring clean could have made such a difference!!
