You need to bring your own linen, towels etc. The unit has a great kitchen & BBQ if you feel inclined to cook, but there are so many great places to eat out. The beach is just metres away and there are many beautiful walks/hikes as well. The.brach is just metre ##### Tracy N. Stayed 5 nights in Sep 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Ron M. 14 Nov 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, location Location, views and apartment, Great. What let the whole experience down was their terrible queen bed. It was like sleeping on a trampoline, we barely had a good night sleep because the bed bounced around when either person would move. Ironically, we stayed at 2 budget motels for our trip to Shoal Bay yet these beds where fantastic which was very annoying considering what we a paid at Breakwater, I expected a lot better. I would not stay their again unless they get a decent bed, especially when you spend a third of your time in bed. Disappointed they’d skimped on this. ##### Ron M.
