The place is very run down and tired. Grounds are disgusting . Paint peeling off walls. They are self owned dungeons that have been pooled together and called a resort.. You would be better off staying in Townsville and using the ferry every day than to stay in this dump. Staff are nice but there is not enough to barely... more

Was expecting a lovely 'tropical resort' as the name suggest. Very basic cabins, not overly clean, dusty, dirty blankets, no storage. Smell of possums was a little unpleasant. Some simple things not included/missing from the rooms - hand towels, soap and iron. Owners/staff very pleasant. Quiet location, gorgeous surrounds. Bus stop outside the resort made travel very easy. more

Not 100% clean either. Very disappointing. Restaurant was poor and pool a bit dirty. Hired a vehicle to get around the island - some nice beaches but nothing... more

Husband and I stayed here and it was just right. Really pleasant owner and a nice cabin. Pleasant pool was a bonus though we spent our time out on the beaches. It is a disance from the better beaches but a bus stop for the Island's free bus service is just outside the property which was great. Would recommend it.... more

We stayed here for two nights in October, but perhaps we did not see the hotel in its best light as there was a wedding one evening and a local football team had reached the final of a major competitoin so the hotel was closed the next night. We did pay a reduced rate and were informed of the wedding... more
