We stayed here for 9 nights it was nice but could be improved. The house wasnt the cleanest with viasable dirt on switches and doors and dust around doorways. Theybgave use 4 bath towels for 4 people but you have to wash them yourself so we found we didnt have enough towels to do this we had to request more which was supplied. Itbwas wonderful having the pool right outside the door of the room. Especially for the kids and made for easy evenings. Although pool hours were not observed by other guests. Servicing of the room was said to be half way through but it was done on day 7 of a 9 day stay. Half way would have been nicer. We would stay here again only for the convenience of the the pool. The unit would also bennefit from an oven in the kitchen as there is only the two hot plates and a microwave.

We had 2x 2 bedroom swim out rooms. They were spacious and the pool access was second to none. Loved our stay and wished we were staying for longer. They also allowed us to take the pool towels to our sail away excursion despite checking out that morning. (we returned them). The staff were very welcoming. Will be back!

We loved the swim out room it was really affordable as well. There was ample space for two of us. Great parking . The lovely lady that also said she was a life guard at the beach checked us in and gave us lots of tips and information about the local area . The beach is walkable but you can’t swim there, it’s a 45 min walk to town on beach. About 5/6 mins drive to main shopping area . They do have shuttles but we did not use that . There is a lovely restaurant next door at the Ramada , only a min walk from reception. We were down the end and the pool was in shade most of the day which was great being January. Ost of the time we were the only ones in it .

Second stay here 13 years apart. Property looks well maintained. Our room was very clean. I have heard the decor needs updating but our room was fine. Everything was better than expected. We were upgraded to a 3 bedroom corner room. The space was great and my tweens loved sharing the studio apartment. Staff were friendly and welcoming. Only negative was that there were quite a few weeds in their otherwise beautiful garden beds but after the amount of rain they have endured, this is bound to happen. Highly recommend. Great value for money especially with a swim out room

Thanks Danielle, Yes you are spot on, the weeds are winning at the moment with the amount of rains we have been having. Our gardening contractor has been busy helping remove some of the flood debris around the region which is a bit of a priority at them moment. We hope to catch up soon. Thanks for staying with us. Lovely to read you had a wonderful day.

The property is in nice location and condition of rooms were okay. There is no dining option on the property but was told that Ramada next door has options, did not check out though. There are tons of food options a short car drive. There were few issues such as previous occupant had left metal spoon in bone grinder, dishes were not cleaned properly and microwave glass was loose. When informed the management they changed microwave right away but forgot to remove the spoon, did not bother us. It is decent size 2 bed room option, used the pool which was clean. Parling included

Thanks Sue, There are certainly options closer to the main street, however they are usually more expensive. If you add the cost of the shuttle price you will find this balances out if being out of town was an issue for you. Thanks for choosing to stay with us.

Everything about the property was great only a few things that we didn’t like. Parking isn’t allocated, so had to park off the property. Would prefer our car parked within premises. Smokers had to leave the property to smoke. Should have allocated room to smoke on balcony/verandas.

In busy times carparking can me tight on-site but as you are aware there is no shortage of nearby carparking. Unfortunately the smell of smoke wafts from balcony to balcony so it affects nearby guests who are trying to enjoy their holiday too.

We loved our room that walked straight out to the pool. We know it’s difficult to keep up with but there were lots of leaves in the pool and in the driveway area at the front of our room. Other than the room being a little worn out it was a beautiful place to stay. Looking forward to coming back.

The reception staff were exceptional. Very friendly and helpful. I would go so far as to say the friendliest we have ever encountered. Our room was comfortable and we enjoyed direct pool access. The setup of the rooms around the pool does create an echo effect, so it was noisy at certain times of the day. However this didn’t stop us from enjoying the deck and pool time.

We stayed in a 3 bedroom apartment on the 3rd floor. Check in was easy and the staff were super friendly. They have these swim out apartments which are super cool, we’d love to stay in one of those next time. The apartment was clean, the beds comfy and the kitchen well equipped. Silkari is a 5 minute drive into town where all the restaurants are. Our only problem was our apartment had terrible water pressure, especially the hot. Then for the last 2 days, we had no hot water. So it was hard to wash dishes and we couldn’t shower. But it’s very hard to complain when the staff are so nice and accommodating. We were given the key to the apartment next door to use the shower, as well as giving us a hefty discount for our next stay. I just wish we could have used the spa on the balcony, I’m not a fan of cold spas. The hot water would have taken a few days to fill. Definitely enjoyed our stay and will be back!
