Pleasant, chilled vibe with great customer care
I stayed for just 1 night on my way back to Brisbane after a trip to one of the islands. After my one night stay at another place in the area on the way out, my expectations were low but were definitely exceeded.
Fantastic views, a clean, spacious room, nice pool, good location and the friendly, helpful hosts made it a fabulous stay - it was just so easy and comfortable. I'd definitely go back, maybe with the family next time.

The check in was super easy, host was very friendly. The room was so clean, which is super important. The view is spectacular, which I could see from my bed, and the pool.
A short walk to the town centre, with lots of restaurants, shops, the lagoon and a Woolies and close to the marina to catch the boat to the Great Barrier Reef tour.
Check out was also super relaxed and easy.

If you are after clean, quiet and affordable accommodation then this is ideal. It is walking distance to the town (steep hill), but far enough away to remain quiet. It has nice views out to the harbour and a pool to cool off in.
Check in/out was simple, communication was good. It may not have the glitz and glamour of the big chins, but it doesn't have the price tag of one either.
