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.

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.
