Great Recreation Facilities

“I had a fantastic time utilizing the sports facilities, especially the tennis courts. They were well-maintained and had a great environment for either a competitive match or a casual game with friends. Plus, with two pools available, it was easy to unwind and soak up the sun after a good workout!” view full review

Amazing Room with Fine Views

“The penthouse room I stayed in was spacious and boasted amazing views of Fraser Island. Although it felt a bit dated, the large windows allowed natural light to flow in, creating a pleasant atmosphere. The upstairs mezzanine was a nice surprise, complete with a relaxing spa where we enjoyed a glass of wine while taking in the views.” view full review

Relaxing Spa Experience

“The bathroom in my penthouse suite had a luxurious spa that was perfect for unwinding after a long day. Soaking in the spa while gazing out at the ocean was a wonderfully serene experience. Although the unit showed signs of age, the spa maintained its charm and was a highlight of my stay.” view full review

Convenient Entertainment Setup

“In the penthouse, the decent-sized TV and lounge area made it a comfortable place to unwind after dinner. We enjoyed movie nights in while still having that killer view out the window. Even though the decor was a bit outdated, the entertainment setup was functional and served our needs perfectly during our stay.” view full review
