Acon working perfectly, helpful staff, great location
The cabin was in terrible condition. It felt dirty and worn out. Staff were friendly and helpful. Pool looked lovely. I didn’t actually realise that a ferry had to be taken to reach the resort. I wouldn’t stay here again as it was isolated and I wanted to be closer to Ballina.
The resort was easy to get to via the ferry. The staff were all very friendly and our cabin was clean, but could do with upgrading the stove.
The beach walk was a pleasant stroll away and the resort pool was amazing
The aircon works well, bed is comfortable and is in a good location. The ferry trip over was not mentioned in the booking. There are extremely limited food options. Being self sufficient is required as limited cafe hours and no nearby food options. The location is worth it though.
The luxury villa was great and had lots of space.
Pool and waterslides were clean and lots of fun.
Beach a quick walk away was stunning.
Cafe and bar were good for a quick easy dinner. Highly recommend. We will be back
We enjoyed our long weekend stay at the resort. The resort is good for family outings as it has waterpark and pool area for kids. The cabin where we stayed is clean and spacious.

The cabin was a bit old, but the staff were friendly, and it was nice to have a beach within walking distance.
Clean room and had what we needed. Pool amd waterpark area were great. Would have been good for info on booking to mention the ferry needed to access, but this was easy to do, just some extra time and $ each way.
Such a cool cabin. Really big and great with dogs as it was fully fenced. Great facilities.
