My room had a direct view of the water. Dolphins swam in front of the room. I enjoyed watching them while having a drink. The Monkey Bar food was really good. Breakfast at the Boughshed was also really good. The location is beautiful. I saw dolphins turtles emus and pelicans.
The room was a bit small.

great locationconvenient restaurantsuperb beach accessartificial light
I loved the location. It is awesome. the restaurant on site was convenient. the dolphin experience was also great. the beach access was superb. i also enjoyed the bar, not far away.
The lights on balconies are on all night. They can't be turned off. i found it annoying not only for sleeping but also because it disturbs the nice natural atmosphere.

The room was close to the boardwalk. It gave direct access to the beach. The location really delivered. I enjoyed watching emus wander nearby.
The room felt a bit small! There was hardly any space to move around. The shower was slow and made it hard to rinse off soap. There was nowhere to hang towels.
