    The hotel's location was remote, up close to nature. What's more, we were feet from Shipwreck.

    The hotel was in a remote location in the harbour. Furthermore, it was just 5 minutes' walk to Shipwreck;))

    had remote location unable to tour the marine biology station that is on the island. it was also so close to the nearby wistari reef, the beach at dusk in early march, and a national park & marine sanctuary which included turtles nesting on the beach.

    Disappointing aspect was cold bathroom.

    This accommodation had a remote setting in the restaurant on the Sunday. Btw, we admired Shipwreck, based just a pleasant stroll away from the hotel.

    Thanks all for a fantastic stay on our holidays. The pool area was good and the location was unique, short walk to the channel before 8am, the main reef, and the restaurant and bar and also the front desk and management team. Furthermore, almost on the sand😃

    Updated room, I appreciated the hotel!

    The staff there were pleasant and accommodating. I was offered a room with awesome views of garden. A la carte breakfast was available. The hotel was placed in the remote location down to the sea.

    The room was reasonably large and good-sized, it was just what we needed. The breakfast was hot with rolls, a sauté chicken plus bacon, worth the price.

    The snorkeling and marine life on the reef were absolutely amazing! We saw everything from spotted eagle rays to turtles and even baby turtles hatching - it was a nature lover's dream. The location couldn't be better, right on the reef with easy access to all the snorkeling spots. the staff were friendly and helpful, making our stay more enjoyable.

    The food at the restaurant was a letdown. The options were limited and the quality was not up to par.

    Good service, we had incredible stay.

    We found out reasonable prices in the hotel. The venue was what we appreciated during trip. Our room was practical and neat, besides, the bed was extremely comfy. The a la carte breakfast was satisfactory, included reasonably priced dishes. The location was stunning and amazing for walking around Heron Island Dock.

    Its location is stunning and unique, just off Heron Island and Gladstone, both nature and the inshore reef. Plus, it is at a moderate distance from Shipwreck...

    By and large, it was ideal place for sightseeing in Heron Island, had much fun and met exceptional and welcoming staff that seems to lack management.
