5* Tropical escape!

Stunning location!! Truely a secluded island. The chef prepared delicious meals, catering to requests and preferences willingly. The staff were so helpful and friendly. We loved our stay!

Two very small things couldve made our stay even better There are 10 villas, so 20 guests but only 10 pool loungers meaning a few days were spent shuffling between pool loungers when they were available, a little awkward. The other thing was simply that we arrived during stinger season, so we wouldve liked to do above water activities. We had kayaks and paddleboards which were great, but a small catamaran or similar couldve helped make use of the water further

Oh! I would love to come back!

This stay exceeded my expectations. The staff was very friendly and always helpful. It was a quiet but not boring place with good service and options for paddling, canoeing, or snorkeling with very good equipment. The 5.30 pre-dinner hour near the pool with canapes was a great idea. The food was a creative surprise every day, and the cook was more than perfect and had considered my food limitations. There were too many small details that made it so exceptional, for example, the surprise that the chocolates left on my pillow were lactose-free, the good quality complementary wines, the nice clean trail to another beach, the rainwater for showers and the environmentally friendly shampoos and creams offered in the villas. All were carefully planned for a comfortable stay, even for a single visitor.

Good

Very tranquil but simply too remote and too difficult to do most things.

Very friendly helpful staff. Food consistently good. House wines. Eco friendly. Views.

Mosquitoes. Not knowing what food was about to be served. No Wi-Fi in villas. Difficulty and cost of doing tours in the Whitsundays. Massive tidal range. Very rocky coastline. Toilet seat too small for the toilet and very loose. No key for the Villa and no safe.
