"Great quality at very good value. Booked a 2 bed 2 bath apartment for 4 nights. The apartment was spacious, great quality and very clean. Beds were very comfortable, the kitchen was fully equipped. It was also lovely and quiet. A supermarket and bars/ restaurants were less than 10 minutes walk away. The pool and spa were fantastic - as good as they look in the pictures. Communication before arriving was a little challenging, especially only being able to sort out late check-in on the day of arrival was a little stressful and messaging via Expedia automatically blanks out emails addresses which definitely didn't help. But overall was a great place to stay and would definitely recommend if you are looking for accommodation in Hope Island."

Really enjoyed the pottery at the Macleay Is Arts Complex and then lunch at the bowls club, it has the best views and the food and cold beers are to die for. Don’t forget to go for a swim at Pat’s park."
