The views are amazing. The rooms are outdated and a little ran down. They have a strict no BYOB rule but ran out of the beer I drink on day 1. Food is not great for the price. Customer service could be much better. Overall experience would be a 5/10

Excellent Hideaway
Your own secluded island with great service great food and great pool. With a one bed room right on the beach this was the perfect getaway. Very laid back but with excellent service from the young team. Lovely pool and restaurant area in balinese style.

We stayed at the property for 3 nights and it was absolutely beautiful. We spent a lot of time at the pool, we went for a lovely bush walk, drinking cocktails, kayaking and wandering around. The food and drinks are top tier, absolutely amazing! It was so nice to switch off from reality and just enjoy each others company. I would definitely recommend this place to others. We loved it and can’t wait to go back one day.

Beautiful view, nice and quiet, not much to do so 5 nights was maybe too long.
Meals were a bit over priced i thought. Would've been good to have a toaster in room to be able to at least make own breakfast.

Such a special place living amongst nature. We saw whales, turtles out at front, curlews, humming birds and cockatoos in the gardens. So secluded you dont see more than 15 people anywhere. Quality of food is excellent and similarly priced compared to mainland.
