  Good and simple resort. A bit away from main town but close to Abell point marina. We rented a studio and it was worth it for the price

  Budget accommodation but not budget priced. It's basic and okay for families but the 2-3 bedroom units are at the top of an extremely steep and slippery driveway, getting up and down with luggage and a toddler was nigh on impossible. Then you had to walk four flights of stairs to get to the top. The fans didn't work properly in our unit and considering it's marketed as family accommodation there was no plastic crockery which was stressful for every meal. The floors need a good mop, our feet were black just from walking around the unit. Everything needs a good clean, it's a bit old and needs an update and paint job. The top pool, near the 2-3 bedroom units, was not shaded making it unusable until after 3:30pm, not ideal for kids. The lower pool had a little more shade but is near the smaller rooms. The onsite restaurant/cafe is odd, open at weird times, not for dinner. It's called a bakery but isn't like any bakery I've ever seen, just an odd setup, different kind of menu and really slow service. The only saving grace was the view, it was incredibly beautiful. Overlooking the Abel Point Marina, it was seriously breathtaking to wake up to such an amazing vista everyday. I would have given 2 stars but the view bumped it up to 3.

  Confused service and lack of room servicing are both negatives. Nice location but would not go back. Poor access for those with wheelchairs / prams.
