Nice view over the bay. The property is high over the city and so the roads to reach it are rather steep (and dark at night). Rooms are small and functional, with minimum amenities (no TV and no internet in the rooms). Some additional cleaning effort would be appreciated....

Hi Steven. Thanks for your Review. Being a Retreat many of our guests prefer to enjoy the natural features our property is lucky to enjoy. The sounds of the Rainforest and the brightness of the stars at night are an incredible experience. The only alarm clock is the sound of the cockatoos squawking at the Kookaburras at 7am. Quite a different way to wake up. The Free and Fast Internet is enjoyed in our Central Facility "Club House" about 50 metres from the Lodges. There is a snooker table, massage lounge, indoor Roman Spa style pool and hammocks everywhere to relax - oh, and a Huge Cinema Screen for guests to watch television, Netflix Movies, Music Clips or even their own experiences they have enjoyed in the Whitsundays. If you need to watch television there is also a tv in the Lounge/Living area of the Lodges and if you need one in your room (as I advise at check in) you simply need to ask as we can provide one upon request. Glad you enjoyed the view and your room mate. Take care Steven. Regards Pete

Every thing sbout it was a surprise, the layout of the room with its common room attacment, the panoramic view is stunning and the owner (Peter), just goes out of his way to please. The area is so peaceful and quiet. I got crook knees and Peter went out of his way to help. I am definitely bookingcthis again.

The hotel is some ones house where you can clearly see living areas. We heard for steps all night above us as well as the conversations. Broken sleep as a result. The reception area looks and feels make shift. The portable air conditioner heated up the room instead of cooling it down. Cockroaches in the bath room. Second hand furniture. Dirty walls and ceiling. Unclean showers... Really was disappointing. The only good thing was the view.

Hi Roberto. Sorry you didn't have a good experience with us. I'm not sure which room you stayed in as we don't have any bookings with your name but I will have housekeeping lift their game and thoroughly go over every room.

A cosy room with en suite facilities and a balcony in a villa of 4 similar rooms and a huge shared kitchen/ living room and a large patio with barbecue. The views over the sea, islands and forest are delightful. The host is convivial and extremely helpful. The reception area has an indoor pool with no barrier so no children are permitted in the resort because of legislation. The complex is up a steep hill and so you can get good free exercise!
