"2 bedroom unit was perfect for our family of 4. Beds super comfortable. Serviced daily with new coffee pods and towels for pool/shower. Friendly reception staff. Kids loved the daily riddles, jumping on bouncy pillow, swimming in the pool (which was perfect temperature for young and old), visiting Beach Road deli or Surf Shack for good coffee and food. Thanks for allowing us to make memories with the 3 other groups of family we stayed with."
