Great value, great location.

Stayed 2 nights after completing the Cooloola Great Walk. Manager checked us in early and was extremely helpful in every way. Excellent facility and close enough to everything Rainbow Beach has to offer. Well equipped, comfortable and quiet.

Nice park area to look out on at the back of the resort. Studio room was nice but would have liked a bigger kitchen area. However it did have a microwave, jug, toaster and a very small fridge. Library was nearby.
