Real guests • Real stays • Real opinions
The location is terrific - a superb view (no need to take a sunset cruise!) - and all was very peaceful. The apartment has been thoughtfully furnished and is very comfortable. We were met at the airport by Wiki who could not have been more helpful or friendly.

AustraliaBuggy was great, beautiful apartment, can tell is a much loved family destination.
AustraliaWe were very pleasantly surprised with our accommodation at compass point 8. We booked a VERY last minute week in Hamilton Island (less than 24hours from when we arrived.) We thought the accommodation looked ‘ok’ online but certainly wasn’t expecting the great apartment we arrived at. The photos don’t do this place justice. We particularly liked the big deck that had an outdoor fan, outdoor sofa, coffee table, dining table & bbq. It was incredibly private & just a wonderful base for a week in Hamilton Island! Other things we liked: - being so close to the pool (perfect with two young kids) -the black out blind in the bedrooms (perfect for kids who nap during the day) - the use of a golf cart for our stay -the property manager who was easily contactable if we needed anything
AustraliaUnit 8 was a gorgeous apartment right next to the pool. Beautifully furnished. Well stocked with everything you could need.
Australiathe location was great having breakfast on the landing overlooking the water was a great way to start each day. the sunsets in the evening were great photo opportunities. the use of a buggy was a different way of getting around and again relaxing.
AustraliaFrom the minute we arrived and were met at the airport by Wikki until we had to sadly leave...everything was fantastic. The view was absolutely amazing, the apartment had everything we needed and was well equiped for a family. The buggy was a lot of fun. Beds were very comfortable and the apartment decor was beautiful. We haven't got a bad thing to say. Ellen (the owner) was easy to contact and Wikki (our point of contact on the island) was so friendly and went above and beyond. We will be back next year.
AustraliaBed comfortable, great view , well appointed with extra sundry items
AustraliaWe were met at the airport by the lovely Rachel (our Guest services support). She explained the buggy & road rules & escorted us to the property. A quick once over of the apartments facilities & the keys were ours. The apartment had plenty of room & was perfect for our family of 3. The best part was the deck... we ate breakfast there every morning as the view was simply awesome,... plenty of rainbows during a sun shower, we watched the boats & you could gaze at the sunset without leaving the apt. We had full access to a buggy which made getting around super easy but Front street wasn’t far so you could walk it... we even walked to the beach one day and caught the courtesy (Green) bus back which stopped about 2 mins from our door! Even when we picked up a flat tyre due to a rather large nail Rachel organised a fix without a fuss! We’d definitely stay at Compass Point 8 again!
AustraliaThe owner of the property has put a lot of love into the unit - it is a real home from home and truly beautiful. As per other reviews, the bathroom is a little tired, but on the whole it is a truly brilliant apartment in a great location, let down only by the company who services it.

I love Hamilton Island and so does my family. Our family has been very fortunate over the years to have spent many of our family holidays on beautiful Hamilton Island. As my girls grew up and our family changed I now enjoy my family holidays on the island with my 7 beautiful grandchildren. They also love the island and look forward to there visits every year. As a family we decided to purchase our own piece of paradise on the island and invested in Compass Point 8 on Beautiful Hamilton Island. Over the years our family has made so many wonderful memories on the island and would like to offer the same opportunity to young family's offering affordable accommodation on one of the most spectacular islands in the world. So we hope that you enjoy our piece of paradise as much as we do when you visit Compass Point 8. Cheers Ellen, Emily and Katie
