Charissa Australia

Close to The Strand foreshore and walkway. Walking distance to Magnetic Island ferry. Coles and eating places close by. Good spot.🙂

Stephen Australia

The location was convenient to the city and port. The room was clean, comfortable and good value. Plenty of options from the eateries located nearby.

Vince Australia

We had a great balcony that looked out to the ocean

Charles Australia

great air-con, comfy bed which is a big plus, café downstairs had amazing breakfast location was great

Simone Australia

The lady, I don’t know the name, is really helpful and friendly 😊

Bunty Australia

Liked the location, we would have liked a small table on the balcony. Our grandson was ill through the night and although the lady was slightly perturbed she didn't say anything and did not make me feel bad about it. The room was clean and even under the bed had been swept, vacuumed, welcoming when we entered.

Gregory Australia

Cafe next to the unit was a bonus. Location is a great place.

Gina Australia

We have stayed here several times . Whilst not new , the rooms are excellent , well fitted , great amenities and very comfortable . At their price , they provide exceptional value . If it's hot , there's a pleasant pool

Bernie Australia

Great location on the Strand. Old but clean and comfortable. I would use this accomodation again. Well worth it.
