If you want to escape this is perfect spot. It is relaxed, unpretentious, friendly and a lovely setting. Evening entertainment will be a puzzle or a swing in your hammock rather than a cabaret.

Its a bit run down at this point but it has ita vibe, and the staff is really friendly. The suite is really nice but the balcony area could have been a bit cleaner. Its not luxury but its a friendly environment, nice people and the food is decent, the local fish in the evening is prepared well

All the staff were so friendly and very helpful, manager Teegan was great. Kept us informed during the Tropical Cyclone we had. Big shout out to the kitchen staff. Food was amazing. Really enjoyed a relaxing stay, even with a full night awake. One bit of info. Fly into Proserpine airport. Much easier access than Hamilton Island.
