I came to Hamilton Island with friends and didn't book a hotel, so we tried booking this apartment together. The environment was great, the sea view was beautiful, and the room was new and clean. The facilities were also complete; the refrigerator was large enough and even had an ice maker, which was sufficient for four people. Sulphur-crested cockatoos even came to visit every morning and evening. The apartment also provided a golf cart, which was very convenient for getting around.

Stunning scenery, beautiful villas. Golf buggy transportation to and from the small village centre arranged around the harbour. Very comfortable. A fabulous short break holiday. Recommended.
