We were advised about limitations of cleaning staff due to COVID, however this should of been more of a priority for COVID reasons. Also we book for 10 people, however only accommodated for 8 (eg only 8 plates and utensils, only 9 chairs at the table). For the price we paid, we had high expectations for the property which unfortunately we didn’t get. Great location and couldn’t beat the view. Great if your chasing a quiet and relaxation away from the other beaches on Maggie. ##### Rebecca H.

Kids were able to scooter on the path out the front, not far to stinger net and coffee! The house is really comfortable and it was great the kids had there own area. Only downfall, the Pool is really small. Love the view and the lights of Townsville at night.

We had a full house including children. I thought things were going to be tight but the house is much bigger than we expected. There are three living levels so everyone had their own personal space when they needed it. The pool is small but it's heated which is a real plus. Will definitely come back. ##### Jade This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 6/10 Okay #### Kiana 1 Oct 2014 #### Great location The house was very clean and presentable. The only thing that was disappointing was that some of the airconditioners didnt work very this including the living room where we spent majority of our time in the house. The living room actually started to leak pools of water and we had to turn it off for the duration of our stay. Also some of the ceiling fans didnt work and the first night we stayed there the main room upstairs both the airconditioner and the fan turned off at 6am in the morning and made the room extremely hot. ##### Kiana ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Fairmont Resort Blue Mountains MGallery Collection](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-Fairmont-Resort-Spa-Blue-Mountains.h522363.Hotel-Information) > > [Mediteran Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kas-Hotels-Mediteran-Hotel.h22530988.Hotel-Information) > > [Wyndham Resort Torquay](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Torquay-Hotels-Wyndham-Resort-Torquay.h1927122.Hotel-Information) > > [Coral Sea Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Airlie-Beach-Hotels-Coral-Sea-Marina-Resort.h1047180.Hotel-Information) > > [Heron Island Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Heron-Island-Hotels-Heron-Island-Resort.h1636471.Hotel-Information) > > [RAC Ningaloo Reef Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Coral-Bay-Hotels-Ningaloo-Reef-Resort.h4257765.Hotel-Information) > > [Lilianfels Resort & Spa - Blue Mountains](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-Lilianfels-Resort-Spa-Blue-Mountains.h872.Hotel-Information) > > [Torquay Foreshore Caravan Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Torquay-Hotels-Torquay-Foreshore-Caravan-Park.h6001296.Hotel-Information) > > [Mercure Hunter Valley Gardens](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pokolbin-Hotels-Mercure-Resort-Hunter-Valley-Gardens.h1877968.Hotel-Information) > > [Kangaroo Island Wilderness Retreat](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Karatta-Hotels-Kangaroo-Island-Wilderness-Retreat.h2041654.Hotel-Information) > > [By The Sea Port Douglas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Port-Douglas-Hotels-By-The-Sea-Port-Douglas.h3024406.Hotel-Information) > > [Heritage Trail Lodge Margaret River](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Margaret-River-Hotels-Heritage-Trail-Lodge-Margaret-River.h9624427.Hotel-Information) > > [Rochester Riverside Holiday Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rochester-Hotels-Rochester-Riverside-Caravan-Park.h65341713.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton Manchester - Piccadilly](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Hotel-Manchester-Piccadilly.h1671525.Hotel-Information) > > [The Carrington Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-The-Carrington-Hotel.h474003.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels with Parking in Gatwick](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gatwick-Hotels-Hotel-With-Parking.0-0-d182523-thotelwithparking.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Mandalay Luxury Beachfront Apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Port-Douglas-Hotels-Mandalay-Luxury-Beachfront-Apartments.h2648804.Hotel-Information) > > [The Lost Camel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Yulara-Hotels-The-Lost-Camel.h4805954.Hotel-Information) > > [Ozone Hotel Kangaroo Island](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kingscote-Hotels-Aurora-Ozone-Hotel.h2737459.Hotel-Information) > > [The Copa Cabana at Copacabana](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Copacabana-Hotels-The-Copa-Cabana-At-Copacabana.h33554165.Hotel-Information) > > [Sheraton Grand Mirage Resort, Port Douglas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Port-Douglas-Hotels-Sheraton-Grand-Mirage-Resort.h8065.Hotel-Information) > > [Marine Troon](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Troon-Hotels-The-Marine-Hotel.h554927.Hotel-Information) > > [Club Wyndham Airlie Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Airlie-Beach-Hotels-Club-Wyndham-Airlie-Beach.h2802992.Hotel-Information) > > [Bannisters Port Stephens](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Soldiers-Point-Hotels-Bannisters-Port-Stephens.h27355893.Hotel-Information) > > [Exmouth Escape Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Exmouth-Hotels-Exmouth-Escape-Resort.h4032424.Hotel-Information) > > [Glamping at Truffle Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gretna-Hotels-Truffle-Lodge.h22239606.Hotel-Information) > > [RAC Monkey Mia Dolphin Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Monkey-Mia-Hotels-RAC-Monkey-Mia-Dolphin-Resort.h2650828.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Gatwick (LGW) to Comiso (CIY)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lgw/ciy/london-to-comiso) ### Packages > [New York Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/New-York.d178293.Holidays-City-Breaks)
