What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“I’ll start of by talking about how much I love this place. The beautiful pools and the location is just immaculate. Rooms- The room I stayed in accommodated 4 people. The bathroom doors have no noise cancellation so people will most of the time hear your private business. The cabinets in the bathroom were falling apart from being wet. The sofa bed had pubic hairs on it but luckily the cleaners came up to fix it. The fridge was a little dirty as well. Service- Pretty average service. Very friendly cleaners. Location: Right next to a little strip mall, the location is just amazing. The beach is suffering from terrible erosion but that’s just one negative. Overall I would give this an easy 5 stars but it’s just not as good as it used to be.I’ll start of by talking about how much I love this place.

“We stayed here as a central point for the northern NSW with day trips to Byron and Mullumbimby. Chose a 1bed Ocean View Studio which was very nice, a great size room and was fully self contained including cooking and laundry. The Ocean View was extremely minimal but general view towards the sea and across the gardens was very nice. No restaurant onsite but the Peppers one for breakfast was very close by. There were also a number of other dining options in the Village right next to the resort. was very quiet, likely because it was the week after school holidays ended. Would not hesitate to stay here again.”
