We loved this place so much we decided to stay another 2 nights Originally we had a share kitchen experience The views are spectacular & our room was perfect! Sadly it was booked for the next 2 nights so we luckily got an apartment on the same property. It’s self contained & seperate from the other rooms Would recommend this place to anyone visiting Atherton

It was beautiful. Was clean. Loved the hot spa. Had a beautiful view also. My only critique is, there was no heater and no extra towels. We stayed a couple nights and our towels remained damp as there was no heat or sun out. But other than than, we loved our stay. Definitely recommend.

stayed in the studio apartment, no curtains or blinds in the kitchen area off which is the bathroom. To travel between the bed to the bathroom there is no privacy, and this is ground level and the BBQ area and shared cloths line is right there. King bed is 2 singles pushed together with no topper. Aircon has no controller, it is set and you push a button on the unit to turn on with no way to adjust the temperature. very quiet location, a bit exposed at night, with not much lighting at entry door which is from a yard.

This is a nice place to stay. It's clean and quiet but it could do with air conditioning. The 9.30 am checkout will have some scrambling to meet the exit time.

Dissapointed

Average stay. Tv didnt work, flat batteries in remote. Sons bed sheet was dirty. Didnt look like a damp cloth used in bedroom. Very dusty, mirror was very dusty. Smelled of mould when we opened door. Toaster was full of crumbs. Not sure when this was last cleaned. Only one towel per person and no pool towel. No spare bin bags. Tried to call office at 4.30pm but just got message. The web page suggested nice views, only for some. Ours was a blank wall from the verandah or a telstra tower. The front doors were all glass and looked straight at the bunk beds. No curtain or blind for privacy.

The property was great except that the toilet has a major leak so we found out in the morning when nearly slipping in a puddle of water on the tiles in the bathroom. Otherwise the trip and room were great. We would definitely come back again
