We had a Wonderful stay! Location was Excellent and directly across from the Beach. Many Cafes and Restaurants were in short walking distance as well as onsite Restaurant which was Exceptional!! Lots to do as well visiting Magnetic Island, which was a highlight. Staff were always very helpful and its Pet Friendly as I travelled with my Service Dog over Easter which they welcomed us very warmly. We definitely would stay again, infact looking at returning soon as it was so relaxing. Thankyou to all Staff who made us feel special from us, Shirley and Coco
