I had a lovely stay at the resort, which was more impressive than I expected for a 3-star accommodation. The units were clean and well-furnished, and my kids had a blast at the pool and games room. The value for money was outstanding, though there were a few limitations in the dining options nearby. Overall, it was a great experience, and I would definitely return.

The amenities like the large heated pool, spa, and tennis court are fantastic for families. I loved the friendly atmosphere and the convenient location near beautiful beaches and cafes.

This resort is a fantastic choice for families looking for a spacious and comfortable stay. The rooms are well-equipped and maintain a homely feel, though some areas could use a touch-up for a more modern vibe. The overt friendliness of the staff adds to the welcoming atmosphere. However, the soundproofing between units could be improved for a quieter experience. Overall, this place offers great value for money, especially for families wanting more than just a hotel room.

Our stay at the resort was absolutely delightful. The space was impeccably clean and offered plenty of room for our family to enjoy. The kids loved the pool and games room, which kept them entertained throughout our visit. Mark and Kerryanne were exceptional hosts, always available to assist yet unobtrusive. We appreciated the well-equipped kitchen and private laundry facilities, making our stay comfortable and hassle-free. It's a family-friendly spot with great amenities, but the location is a bit farther from Port Macquarie than we initially imagined.
