"Fabulous 4 night trip to Hayman. Just the most beautiful scenery and grounds and a very friendly staff. We enjoyed the excursions snorkeling and seeing Whitehaven Beach. We initially had a lagoon room which we didn’t love so we upgraded to a second floor room overlooking the pool. They were very accommodating. Used the gym and ate at all the restaurants. We also enjoyed the great acoustic guitar player each night. "

Nautilus, House on Hamilton Island

Nautilus, House on Hamilton Island

8/10 Good
"Great house for a family stay. Lots of space. Prompt attention by the team to a couple of issues that popped up. Perfect position too. A short walk to the harbour and wildlife park. Beautiful views. Only criticism would be the stairway up to the front door of the house. It was quite narrow with no rail so at times felt unsafe going up and down."
