Three days is too short! Clean and tidy facilities, however my room smelt damp and even with aircon on this could not be rectified. Highly recommend the Island Day Spa for a massage, the 4WD “Beauty Spots” tour, drinks and cheese / prawn platter down at the Sunset Bar and Dune Restaurant was delicious. If you book Accommodation via Wotif, be sure to arrange ferry passage and transfers prior, as well as buffet breakfast.

Overall it was an average stay. Expensive for the facilities on offer and very understaffed. In saying that the staff that were there were extremely friendly and absolutely run off their feet. Due to the amount guests and the ratio of staff, we witnessed on many occasions the staff being spoken to poorly by guests. The current management should look to look increase the amount of people on shift or reduce the number of guests able to stay during the current staff shortages.

Amazing location, they did an fantastic job to ensure resort blends ins with the surrounding nature. Bathroom was outdated but clean. If your over 1,7m you will need to hold the shower head. Staff was friendly. When you book the pickup from the airport, ensure you ask upfront for the location as there are no signs at the airport (lady from tourist info was helpful). I can recommend booking the beauty spot tour, this will make your stay outstanding.
