Lovely honeymoon stay
We spent part of our honeymoon trip at the Whales Bay apartment hotel and loved every moment! They even greeted us with special honeymoon decorations in our apartment. This is a lovely location to stay at if you’re looking for apartment style accommodations to be able to do your own cooking while enjoying hotel amenities. We will be back!

2 Bedroom apartment was fantastic for our family!
Beautiful hotel. Very clean and new/modern. Sadly, we were only able to stay for one night - we would have loved to stay longer. We stayed in 2 bedroom apartment, and it was perfect for us and our 3 grown up kids. The kitchen looked great, too bad we were there for so short. Super friendly, kind, efficient staff. Highly recommend! Teresa in reception was amazing! Thank you!
