"Room was clean, has amazing view. We didn't cook but noticed that the kitchen was spacious and equiped with everything one needs to make a meal. We enjoyed our stay. The check in process was a bit frustating. The property does have a front desk person for check-in. There was a phone number at the front desk one needs to call to get a code to open the lock box to get the key to the room. However, as an international traveler without a calling plan, the unexpected phone call I had to make was costly."

"A lovely family-friendly property nestled in the coastal forest of Rainbow beach. It had everything we needed for a 6 day beach holiday. We liked that it felt secluded when sitting on the deck. The large dinning room table was great for family meals and card/board games. The gas BBQ was a winner. Larger kitchen bins would of been nice to avoid multiple trips to the wheelie bins. Overall a very enjoyable stay for a family of 6. We will definitely be back."
