Its a bit run down at this point but it has ita vibe, and the staff is really friendly. The suite is really nice but the balcony area could have been a bit cleaner. Its not luxury but its a friendly environment, nice people and the food is decent, the local fish in the evening is prepared well

All the staff were so friendly and very helpful, manager Teegan was great. Kept us informed during the Tropical Cyclone we had.
Big shout out to the kitchen staff. Food was amazing. Really enjoyed a relaxing stay, even with a full night awake.
One bit of info. Fly into Proserpine airport. Much easier access than Hamilton Island.

Quiet island location close to the mainland. Small resort with great staff and food service from a great kitchen. Facilities are older but maintained in a casual lush tropical setting Good walking options to explore a bit if you like.

Idyllic stay.
Beautiful, relaxing idyllic stay. Food was good. Staff were lovely. Pool was nice. Loved the setting and nature. The hammocks were a nice touch. Lots of activities. Bush walks were fun. Bedding etc was very clean.
Room 15 was very musty so had to keep aircon on at all times.

Great staff very friendly and helpful. Resort is clean and tidy, can see that resort has suffered cyclone/weather damage so some things like tennis courts not used.
Free snokals and kayaks/SUPs was great, great get away for couples.
