Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

This is our 4th visit and we have booked again for next year. It is a beautifully kept resort, friendly staff and great value for money. The location would be difficult to beat. The units are well appointed.

Our stay was for a family of 5 (2 adults & 3 children) The room was inviting and modern, this stay our room #38 did not have a dish washer, and we were one towel short 4 towels were provided for the stay. Staff were nice they would say hello as we passed. It’s $3 to use the laundry washer and $3 for the dryer unfortunately they don’t have a change box to convert all coins into $1 as required for use. The rooms provide basic cleaning products for the room however we like to bring our own for long stays such as dish liquid and hand soap, the hair care provided this stay was very nice. The park and pool within the accommodation was clean and tidy staff very relaxed with rules within reason . We travelled to stay along with 4 other family groups and stay each year, we have also rebooked for next year and are looking forward to our stay.

Hi Jessica, Thank you for taking time to review your stay. It sounds like you had an enjoyable stay & it's great that your family & friends have rebooked for next year. All of our 2-bedroom units are prepared for 4 guests & we regret we did not notice that your reservation stated 2 adults & 3 children, as we would have included a 5th bath towel. Hopefully you popped into reception to let us know you needed another towel. Change for the laundry is available at reception & reception hours are from 8am to 4.30pm Monday to Saturday. We also provide an afterhours phone number to contact our manager outside of these hours, in the case of an emergency. Our staff are here to provide a service to our guests, so please come & see us if there is anything you need during your future stay. Many of our units are equipped with dishwashers. If you would like a unit with a dishwasher for next year's visit, please contact us to discuss your options. We look forward to welcoming you back next year.

The apartments are modern and very clean. Have everything you could want. Staff are super friendly and very helpful. Very well located just one minute walk across the road to the beach and surf club for a great breakfast or lunch as well a short walk or drive to the Sports Club for dinner. A short five minutes drive to the Main Street of Shoal Bay with many shops and restaurants to choose from. You can also hire standup paddle boards and kayaks to enjoy in Shoal Bay. We have stayed several times just the two of us and also together with our grandkids. Very family friendly, kids love staying there. I’ve already booked for the next school holidays. Highly recommended.

Great location, close to beach, cafe, walking paths. Units spacious and clean. Only gripe is having to park across the road near the oval as at no point were we able to park in our allocated parking spot due to other guests rudeness!! Visitors carpark always full too. Hard thing to police as signs on windscreens from management just removed and cars remained!!!!
