Shannon - June 2025
Fabulous stay for our girls trip. The view is spectacular and to have the buggy to get around was essential.
Siobhan - April 2024
Beautiful apartment with the MOST amazing views! The apartment is very roomy, clean, and comfortable. The buggy was a highlight. We look forward to returning. Thank you for hosting us.
Sandra - September 2025
We stayed for 5 days and 6 nights during the school holidays on the north side of Hamilton Island and it was an absolutely wonderful experience. The location was peaceful and quiet and having a buggy was a total game-changer. Highly recommend it, especially as buggy hire can be quite pricey elsewhere. The apartment itself was spacious and open and I loved the sliding doors that opened up to a spectacular view. Enjoying my morning coffee while watching the sunrise was truly unforgettable. The villa was spotless, felt incredibly relaxing and the communication with the hosts was fantastic. They responded quickly and even emailed us if they could not reach us by phone. We had a small issue with the milk frother and it was replaced immediately, which was much appreciated. The pool was lovely too, quiet, peaceful and perfect for a relaxing dip. Overall, we loved everything about this villa and would HIGHLY recommend it. We would definitely re-book without hesitation.

Simply loved this apartment & the grand vista of the water & islands. Beds were comfortable & the rain shower in the ensuite was fabulous. TV in the main lounge area is a bit small for where the couches are located but we made it work. BBQ worked well. Just wished the Hamilton Island winter weather was a bit nicer this time around but we still managed to swim in the rain - hey we were going to be wet anyway!
