Friendly and helpful reception. Updated and comfortable room. Garage and pool were close-by. Pool was lovely and we almost had it to ourselves. Location is excellent - re restaurants, marina, beach, park. We only used our car for touring.

Bedroom/ Lounge areas are together. Table was on the balcony, but the weather suited us for sitting outside. Kitchen was small so more suited to take-away meals rather than cooking (but fine for breakfast and for preparing packed lunches). The street gets busy but by closing the balcony door we cut-down the noise from early morning traffic.

Excellent advice from the proprietors Joyce and David on companies they suggested for snorkelling on the reefs and crocodile viewing on the Daintree River was much appreciated. Helpful at all times with bookings. and suggestions as to what events were currently on locally . Great location for beach access and shopping facilities. Apart from one rainy day, we enjoyed splendid sunny weather - ideal for pool and beach swimming. The Kitchen was well equipped and breakfasts on the balcony amidst the tree tops was a lovely way rt to start the day.

We were there for 7 nights and felt that clean towels should have been provided halfway through- for 8 nights , they supposedly were . Otherwise you had to pay for clean towels.

We stayed in a Poolside Studio Room on the ground floor and for us it was perfect. King size bed extremely comfortable, bathroom well appointed, perfect hot water to basin and shower. Kitchenette well equipped with hot plates, microwave, and small refrigerator which had a small freezer. Electric jug and toaster. Plates, cooking utensils and cutlery provided. Also clothes rack for drying. Large TV with cable channels situated on the wall. Very good value. Very close to 4 Mile beach and main shopping street.

Absolutely nothing

Great staff, quick correspondence before my visit to arrange a very late check in. Staff were really helpful and knowledgeable about all the trips/excursions. There were loads of brochures and some suggested itineraries which was really helpful. Big room, comfy bed and sofa, well equipped kitchen, great bathroom. Pool/beach towels available. Laundry on site. Close to beach, marina and town. Beautiful pool with sun loungers and bbq. The trees around made it so relaxing! Great value for money!

Room was a dated, noisy air con but it didnt bother me and everything worked brilliantly.

Everything you needed with restaurants, shops and harbour all within walking distances. It also had a much needed laundry for guests. The pool was lovely and the staff really helpful.

The air conditioning was a bit old . So didn’t work as efficiently as hoped in extremely humid and hot conditions. However there was a ceiling fan ( essential) which helped. But it is the tropics and it isn’t a modern hotel which we didn’t want. This is just so other travellers come knowing this.

David and Joyce are wonderful 'hosts' - always so helpful and positive. The pool is beautiful and the setting of the pool is lovely. The pool and bbq area is very inviting. The room had everything we needed. The location is great, so close to everything. It was great to have convenient parking available.

The aircon in the room is rather old and noisy. A split system would be a big improvement. The pool deck can get a little slippery. A non slip coating might be as bit safer.

The location of the hotel is ideal - 5 minute walking distance from wharf and downtown area. The grounds are beautifully landscape including a wonderful pool area. My room was spacious with good size living/sleeping area and small kitchenette.

The shower is extremely small making for a tight fit - not even someone who was over 200 lbs could fit in it! The air conditioner is really loud but fortunately a ceiling fan sufficed for keeping room cool. Bed pillows are flat and not very comfortable; bed linens a little dated. You have to pay $3. to "rent" a pool towel which is slightly smaller than the bath towels available in room which seemed weird to me as every other hotel I have ever stayed at made this a complimentary offering. It would be really beneficial if the hotel provided an ice machine on the premises particularly since they have barbeque/dining area adjacent to pool.

Very convenient location, great for catching tours, walking into restaurants and bars. It was good to have a secure garage. Laundry facilities were so useful. Kitchenette was handy for keeping stuff cool and making breakfast, etc. It was lovely to sit on the balcony with a view of the pool and enjoy a glass of wine. Very good value.

Room was quite small but it was adequate but there was no space to put clothes away or hang them up.

The owners were friendly and welcoming on arrival and provided me with lots of information about the town and details I would need to get around. They couldn’t do enough through the stay whenever I had a question. I was travelling for work so they thoughtfully arranged accommodation on the quieter side of the hotel, away from the pool. The pool was actually beautiful - a little tropical oasis! There is a barbecue area and lots of places to relax in the shade with a book between dips.

Wifi was a little slow but it was fine for what I needed.
