Island Leisure Resort

8/10 Good

"Reception staff were wonderful, lovely pool area, great location. Really enjoyed our stay."

NEW! Dacha #2. First Class Luxury Waterfront Villa

10/10 Excellent

"One of the most beautiful properties I've stayed at in Australia. The house is perfect for a group getaway and the location is beautiful and close enough to walk to stores and coffee shops. I highly recommend it for group holidays."

Dacha Prestige

10/10 Excellent

"The accommodation was luxurious, and stunning. The only negative feedback was the tiles around the pool area are extremely dangerous when wet, we did have a guest slip and hurt her knee and the water views in the advertisement does not match the views at the accommodation for this particular property. How ever we will definitely be back to stay again as it is beautiful."

Beachside Palms Unit 3

8/10 Good

"Bit of maintenance needs to be done. Screen door needs new wheels, fly wires need a clean. Keep paths free of overhanging plants"

10/10 Excellent

"The best place to stay for family, relaxation, great views with the perfect hosts, Will definitely be back Thank you Island Palms"
