Amazing property, bungalow, staff

Walk out of our bungalow (#15) straight onto the beach, bungalow was updated, fresh, staff were lovely. Caravans, camping and nice Bungalows. 100m walk to Ellis Beach pub which has amazing food (check opening hours in off tourist season, 6pm close some weekdays), but amazing lunches, brekkys and dinners on the weekend.

Booked a single cabin and talk about beachfront it was 2 steps and onto beach. Little bit of traffic noise due to highway outside but shut cabin up and was good. Swim off the beach or fish or just sit back and catch the sun. Book in was easy and reception was so nice and knew the area well… Thank you

Gorgeous, gorgeous location. Almost impossible to beat. It's a beach bungalo, but we were pleased with the accomodations. Bunk beds a little small and many of the washer/dryers were out of order. All our interactions with staff were great. We really enjoyed our stay and you will too.

Extremely deceptive marketing. We booked an ocean view cabin. They are a garden room. Staff were lovely and room was great but our experience was soured when all we could see was the back of other cabins and cars. It was like a greasy used car salesman had written the add. Staff said it was Wotif which I agree the photos on Wotif are the most deceptive but just change the description to garden room and price accordingly and you will have happy clients. I did give them an opportunity to deal with this but have received no communication at all.

Terrific spot, literally just about on the beach! Short drive to Palm Cove. Only down side is it quite close to the road and there can be a bit a traffic noise
