What a beautiful little gem! The shacks are perfectly appointed, immaculate and the location could not be better. We enjoyed the most incredible 10 days here over Christmas and would highly recommend them to anyone wanting a relaxed beach holiday :)

Loved this place, so different from the norm and the location is unbeatable. There is only 4 villas/huts with the bottom two being 2 bed-roomed. There is plenty of stairs to go up if you are staying in the top two rooms however you can enter from the top of the resort. There is a guest washing machine behind villa 2 but it is bore water and can stain however Agnes Water has a couple of laundromats.
Only the bedrooms are air conditioned but the living areas have ceiling fans which work just fine. Beautiful big balconies with a hammock at one end which the kids never got out of. Lovely area on here for BBQ's or there's a hotel next door that has nice meals and cold beers.
Every one is very friendly and will help to make your stay that bit more special. Make sure to do the Lady Musgrave tour on the Spirit of 1770 boat, great day out, one we'll never forget to the Great Barrier Reef, but take sea sickness tablets before you leave.

My family stayed four nights in the smallest accommodation, a studio on the top terrace. With a two year old daughter, we would have preferred something with a separate bedroom, but the Aussie school holidays had filled the place up by the time we tried to reserve. Good: the view, the hosts (incredibly gracious), the general construction and decor of the facility, the view, the small kitchen was fairly well equipped - we cooked in 3 of four nights. Could be better: the windows have no screens, which is apparently not usually a problem, but our visit coincided with several days of rain, which brought out various biting insects, for which our only defense was to keep the windows shut, robbing ourselves of the breeze. The only other challenge, as in most of Australia, is that traveling on the US dollar tends to feel increasingly expensive. The cost was around $200 US/night, which felt high for the size of the unit.

Everything here is perfect, the Town of 1770 is the most relaxed place I think I have ever had the pleasure to visit. The locals are welcoming and you get a real small town feel. No photo's of this accomodation can do it justice, every attention to detail has been meticulously pulled off to great success, right down to the hammocks on the balcony. Stunning views from all the villas. It may seem pricey when booking but if you want a holiday with the wow factor this is it.
