Better signage needed
Signage to find rooms is minimal and difficult to see at night.
Tap water pressure was weak.
Service was wonderful just the above aspects were a disappointment. The room itself was comfortable but more a 3 to 3.5 star quality. The service from the staff pushed it up to 4.

Horrible stay
The main area is beautiful and the pool area is great. Checked in thinking fornthe money we paid we will be placed in a decent room. It felt qe cheked into a 2 start motel. Inhave photos of rusty items , the carpets were smelling lile mold and old, dust everywhere and the bathroom was dirty and beds looked like 1970. Lamps were dirty and broken. Terrible experience. For dinner I order food that came one hour and half later. Such a disappointing experience. Not worth the money not worth ever going back there.

Great place to relax and enjoy!
We had everything we needed during our 3 night midweek stay.
The room was set up well and bed was comfortable.
We had enjoyed the walks and wildlife, great food, especially the buffet breakfast with the best coffee from Milano machines. The service was very friendly and helpful. Also nice water activities, like fish feeding and sailing.

So here is the deal. The three staff members that work the pool area, boats, gym and kayaks named George, Tim and John are the heart and soul of this resort. Everyone else just shows up. The front desk staff is overworked and extremely grumpy. Nikki at the evening front desk was extremely helpful but was obviously not able to self empower to make the guest happy. The morning staff over road Nikki and they made us the bad guys. Honorable mention to Marcel who truly works hard and does the best he can Overall great family resort walking distance to a beautiful beach and lots to do for the entire family.

property had a lovely outlook was quiet and well maintained. clean and very tidy.. booked for 4 guests and only received 3 towels .. room key would not work so we were locked out of our room until partner went to rectify the issue .. child busting for toilet .. did allow us a later check out which was helpful with our travel plans . was a bit pricey for a one night stay .. girlfriend stayed at same time and rang venue instead of going through booking agent and got an $80 discount.. .

Have lived in Brisbane and Sunny Coast for many years and never knew this place was here…. Such a shame because it’s stunning. Loved the pool, lake and rooms and will definitely be returning.

Resort is tired and needs maintenance. Some staff are helpful but most have an attitude issue and don't take responsibility for ensuring guest comfort. The resort is totally unsuitable for disabled and there is no indication on the website that long walks on unstable paths are required to navigate the property. Meals are best described as heated frozen dinners however the breakfast buffet had a good selection
