Nice little gem very quiet and close to airport. The place as old but still worth the visit. We stayed in 17 and we could enjoy the ocean breeze every morning while enjoying a cup of coffee.

Relaxing and enjoyable stay.

Pros: Good value. Management tried to meet our needs and make our stay pleasant. Villas were on the beach.
Cons: Owners need to do a big paint job and maintenance on their properties and some gardens. More cutlery, crockery, veg knife.
Location: Northern Beaches are great espec Eimeo beach. Goose pond walk. Famous Pinnacle pie from the Pinnacle Pub. Platypus at Broken River. Goanna Brewery
The resort has been under new management for the last 12 months. Management is extremely pleasant and willing to fix any problems if any arise. The villas are individually owned. Our villa on the beach showed signs of wear and tear and is in need of some maintenance by the owner. The villa was clean and comfortable. The resort facilities were clean and pleasant to walk through. Some owners need to maintain their villa's gardens. Our overall stay was pleasant and relaxed and for the money spent was good value. We would definitely go again if in the area.

Great location at the beach

Pros: Location, amenities and the price.
Cons: The kitchen and bath could use a makeover.
Location: The heart of Mackay is just minutes away and the mountain rain forest an easy drive.
Quite nice 2 bedroom accommodation next to the beach for a modest sum. Loved watching the dramatic tide go in and out .When the tide was out we walked over a mile to the water's edge. Amazing! Being at the end of the airport runway the planes taking off were pretty noisy but they're fun to watch.
