Stairway to bedrooms very steep. Single bathroom downstairs. Not a good option for elderly. Front door jambs open, bedroom door wouldn't stay closed unless locked. Place is starting to get a bit dated. Good location, not cheap.

Room was very comfortable and well presented. Wonderful location and being dog friendly is a big plus for this resort. Lots of wildlife and pleasant staff. Will stay here again. Out of Bicheno a bit is good as quiet from any road noise.

We booked a Superior Apartment Beachfront with a spa bath, and the experience was genuinely memorable. The highlight was the stunning view of Diamond Island and the wildlife. One of the most unique parts of staying here is the wildlife right outside your door. We regularly saw kangaroos grazing nearby, bunnies hopping around the grounds, and even spotted penguins at night on a couple of occasions. The upstairs bedroom was spacious and comfortable, featuring a king bed and tv that made it easy to unwind after long days exploring. There were a few downsides worth mentioning: - The kitchenette was quite small, which made preparing meals a bit tricky. - The shower was on the smaller side as well. - The spa bath didn’t work, which was disappointing given it was one of the features we were looking forward to. Overall, though, the location, views, and wildlife made it a memorable stay — with just a few improvements needed to make it perfect.
