Great for a quiet stay a bit away from everything, and yet still just a short drive to the rest of the Sunshine Coast also. There is a supermarket and tavern within about a 5 minutes drive, or the resort has a nice restaurant bar. Nice sized apartment, and nicely furnished, but the TV's are quite dated in the age of 50" LCD's for peanuts. I had a great view from my balcony over the golf-course waters. Pool is unbelievable and large! You can order drinks by the pool from your mobile, and they'll be delivered a few minutes later by the friendly staff. Prices aren't "cheap" but neither ridiculously priced compared to elsewhere. Underground parking is good, but will not fit a taller 4WD. For those you can park them out the front. Value was great on my rate for a long weekend away. A great place to stay for a few days or longer!

I found the website very misleading, the golf course was unavailable to the public , the sports bar was closed and was advertised as being open 4 nights a week and also the restaurant was not really a restaurant more a cafe. The room was clearly not the room on the website filthy shower curtain and dangerous as water was constantly in the floor outside the shower area .
