Carl and Mandy were so welcoming and friendly. We were visiting from Los Angeles, and they helped us with all our questions regarding transportation, bookings and lost luggage. It's a great spot to visit for fun, relaxation, and walks on the beach. There's also a restaurant on-site called Hidden. The staff is also welcoming and friendly. The Reuben sandwich is different than I'm used to, and it was amazingly delicious! We also enjoyed the yummy brekkie burger, crispy chicken dinner, and Hidden House Salad.

Hi, The two negatives I have from our stay are a very hard mattress in the main bedroom(sofa bed was more comfortable)No staff on at reception on weekend wasn't ideal But The pool was lovely,the breakfast on site was outstanding,the staff were friendly,the rooms although dated were very clean and nicely layed out with plenty of room for a comfortable stay and the fresh plants from the garden were a nice touch.I would definitely stay here again and would recommend the Golden sands to my friends and family.

The attached restaurant was convenient for breakfast and dinner and the food was tasty. The small shopping centre nearby had medical, pharmacy, barber and groceries and some eateries. The local boat club is very nice inside and great meals. Our internet worked well and the beach was a short walk from the rear of the apartments .This was our first time holidaying outside of Cairns city and we loved it.

We loved it here. The apartment was spotless and fully equipped with super “Hidden” cafe downstairs. Right next to the beautiful beach, tropical pool and close to bus stops and shops. What a little piece of paradise. A place of tranquility and calm. Everyone very friendly too. Can’t think of anything we would change!

Very quaint apt. It has the necessary appliances required to stay for short rental. We stayed for 10 days. The room was spacious & lots of seating areas. It is also very close to the beach & walking path. The bathroom door needs an update since it keeps getting stuck when you slide it. The fans & ducts does need some cleaning---noticeable dust has accumulated over time. The restaurant in the hotel has a lovely menu.

A fantastic spot. Great hospitality, cleanliness and communication from the staff. Very comfortable room, huge bed, well shaded picturesque pool, right next to a strip of rainforest that separates you from the beach by just 150m. Warm evening walks on the beach with access to two good restaurants, Hidden@Yorkeys and Ten06. I was considering giving a negative review so I could keep this secret all to myself.

Pleasant Stay

The one bedroom apartment was clean and comfortable. Shower and air conditioning were good. Location is in quiet street with good parking. The apartments are not serviced. This is fine but given the savings on cleaning the complex makes when you stay a week I would have expected supplies of toilet rolls etc to have been replenished. It’s a minor thing but somewhat annoying. Overall a good stay.

Voelde als een retreat

Wij hebben een paar heerlijke dagen gehad. Dit kwam door het ruime appartement, de tropisch aangelegde tuin rondom zwembad en ontbijt en lunchruimte. Ook kwam je via een paadje bij zee uit. Het voelde echt als een retreat. Het inchecken ging vlot. We zouden zo weer boeken.

The property had a very relaxed feeling with a lovely lagoon. I enjoyed the tennis and basketball courts. It was nice being outside of the hustle and bustle of Cairns. My only feedback would be upgrade the bed, as a sensitive sleeper it was very bouncy as my partner moved throughout the night. Thanks for a great stay.
