Always great to stay here. Villas are a little older but nice and big for families. Having kitchen and laundry helps as well. Pools and spas are great. Played some tennis and took morning or afternoon walks on the beach. Very relaxing.

We had a relaxing time at nautilus! Room was good for what we needed and the pools were a great hit with our young kids. My only disappointment would be the gym as it was old and not maintained well. The kitchen could have used some more basic items like dishwashing liquid for the duration of our stay or extra rubbish bags. Overall very happy and would stay again.

Property was fine albeit a bit dated. Staff were pleasant and helpful, and the pool area was lovely. Our only complaint was there was no wifi as advertised. On raising this with the staff, we were told that not all units have modems and it depended on which one you were allocated. We found this very misleading.

The overall stay was pleasant, it was clean and easy to stay at with the kids. I was disappointed that there were no sheets for the fold out although they were aware we would be using them. There was one single doona (for a double fold out) that was filthy and no sheet to put on it. I had to guy buy bedding for my kids. There were no extra towels to use for the pool. Given there is no staff on-site over the weekend we had to make do. It’s these little things that would have made our stay perfect.

Good value but the resort is very tired and could do with an uplift. Eg. The pools are open until 10pm, but one of them doesn’t have lighting, so can’t be used. There is only one restaurant (Thai) on site and there are no shops/restaurants within easy walking distance. Our 2 bedroom apartment only had airconditioning in one room (1 bedroom) which meant the other bedroom was incredibly hot. Although we had 2 bathrooms, only one had decent pressure for showering. There was a private beach, but it’s not patrolled and quite rough, so we couldn’t use. Good points were that the apartment was very spacious and had a kitchen. In hindsight we should have bought supplies for cooking. There was a laundry and a nice lawned courtyard. We had undercover parking next to our apartment which made unpacking the car easy. Our kids thought the 3 pools were great. Although there were tennis courts, we had forgotten to pack balls and there’s no shop on site, so we couldn’t use it which was a shame. Probably a good place to go with a big group- just remember to take what you need in terms of food and drink!

Sad family experience 😟 Wish we’d read reviews

Great location, stunning beachfront views and a nice pool and beautiful ocean deck area. The onsite, (but independent), Thai restaurant was EXCELLENT! Unfortunately that’s all the positives, it’s clear that the private owners of the individual resort studios care more about profits than guest experience. Our unit for family of 5 was clean and tidy, for $360 a night it was though well below our expectations, (only 1 of 2 aircons worked, dryer was faulty, not enough place settings for 5, damaged furniture, bbq gas near empty), fittings, fixtures and furniture would have been “on trend” in the late 90’s but should have been renovated many, many years ago. Same goes for all of the resort really, the spa is archaic, gym is beyond terrible and generally it’s well past worn out, (only photo I took ~ outdoor furniture summed it up really =tired & broken). Signs up throughout our studio warning of “you’ll be charged if you don’t x,y&z. Don’t bother with contacting reception as it’s mostly closed. We made it a great stay as you do with a family but we’ll be spending our money elsewhere in the future,

Properties showing its age in numerous parts. I didn’t like the lack of check in info or check out info. And in 2024 to have no wifi access in my room at a resort was very disappointing. Room was very clean and bed was very comfy. Shower head needs replacing as that was awful which detracts from the overall experience.

It was was nice private place, close to Coffs. The hot spa was not working and it was poor weather so a spa would of been a benefit. No wi fi, very dated room decor, old rooms, just ok bed and awkward parking in 142. We enjoyed the area it was beautiful.
