    The exterior on first arrival is not appealing, plain and understated but it is like the Tardis, once through the small door from the car park it opens up to a well kept bar with a nice beer garden and outdoor area. Don't be put off by your first impression in the car park.

    Considering the location, (remote) they have done a remarkably good job. The units are comfortable and quiet and there is a very nice pool. The dining area is well appointed and the continental breakfast adequate. Remember everything has to come from Cairns on a barge. I would readily go back there again, in fact this is the only viable accomodation on Horne Island with a good range of facilities and a free bus to and from the airport when you need it.

    Excellent location and beautiful, well established and maintained gardens. The wraparound deck and outdoor setting allowed us to soak up the natural scenery.

    The large TV in the restaurant seemed to be on 24 hours a day, always with the volume turned up high. I found it disruptive when trying to enjoy meals with colleagues.

    Very comfortable room and pleasant outdoor areas - if my stay had been longer I would certainly have used the pool! I appreciated the hotel transfer options and the in-house restaurant.

    When we first turned the air con on in our room, it smelled a bit musty. The room was spotless with no sign of mould, the smell came from the air con, which was also pretty noisy. After a few hours of use the smell dissipated and was no longer a problem.

    Free continental breakfast and coffee in the restaurant. Hot cooked breakfast for $20. This included a range of plentiful foods and coffee. All the meals were excellent and quite reasonably priced for the quality. The chef/s are to be congratulated, I have never eaten better seafood meals. A very happy relaxed atmosphere. Short walk to the ferry.

    The service in the bar was sometimes a challenge getting orders correct. Bar staff used the excuse “Island Prices” when they stuffed up billing or orders. I saw them do this twice.

    Pool was a good temperature and the food was good value.

    The ceiling fan really only had two settings slow and ridiculously fast. The ironing board wouldn’t stay up.

    Adequate - more fresh fruit would have been appreciated. Great steak dinner in restaurant.

    Room had very strong smell of room freshener on arrival …..bit much

    We stayed in a king room 101 located in the block of 4 or 5 rooms. The room was clean spacious and well equipped. Bed was comfortable. The resort was very quiet as we were well back from the public areas.. Loved how well maintained and attractive the gardens were. The pool was such a treat after spending time in a part of the world where swimming in the ocean is not an option. Continental brekky left in fridge was fine, dinner in the beer garden was excellent ,staff all very friendly and $15 transfer per person to the airport very convenient. Definitely walkable from the ferry as there is a cement footpath all the way if you have wheelie bags. Sunset and sunrise from the jetty recommended as is getting a coffee from the cafe at the supermarket( open before 7am at least on a weekday)

    Comfortable room with basic facilities. The continental breakfast was very welcome given the lack of options on the island. The staff were friendly and very accommodating. We appreciated their offering to drop us at the ferry jetty on our departure.
