Nice view from our room and breakfast area. Pools were very pretty, but we did not use as we were swimming in the ocean all the time. It’s a little out of the main area of town, maybe 10 minutes walking. There is a local bus which cost 1 Australian dollar to use all day if you don’t want to walk. Only issue we had...

"Fantastic property for a family holiday. The apartment was huge and had everything you need and want. The outdoor space is expansive and takes advantage of the incredible views. The facilities are clean and tidy. The staff were friendly and helpful too. The walk up from town and to the apartment is definitely challenging but we were well aware of that. It’s the price you pay for the absolutely amazing views. We didn’t want to leave and will definitely be back. "
