    We stayed in apartment 6 and it was clean and comfortable and had everything we needed. Great staff with great communication, who were helpful with requests such as early and late check outs and extra car park. Loved the pool and BBQ facilities....

    We had a gorgeous view of the sea and the whales and were especially glad of the binoculars made available by Brenda! The following comments are definitely not a complaint, but a few small things it would be good to include: information access...

Company info

We have been managing the property since early September 2019 and have really enjoyed seeing the improvements around grounds, the pool, and Reception with the addition of a Resort shop. Our staff enjoy making sure all our guests have a wonderful stay here.

Property info

Our elevated position affords fantastic views of the ocean and along Main Beach from our Premium Ocean Front Apartments, Penthouses and our Luxury Ocean Front Apartments all the way to the Gold Coast. It is the ideal place to witness the majesty of the the annual Humpback Whale Migration from early June to November. We are fortunate to share our grounds with the resident local kangaroos and curlews whose antics can be seen most afternoons and early evenings, and is a special treat for all our guests.

Neighborhood info

Whale Watch Resort is perfectly positioned in Point Lookout to see all the wonderful attractions so close. We are 350m from Main Beach and North Gorge Board Walk which is a must do. The board walk is perfect for viewing the Humpback Whales on their annual migration North and also on their return South, and for seeing dolphins, turtles and manta rays. We are 5 minute walk to cafes, restaurants, local specialty shops and grocery stores.
