We checked into Unit 502, and the view was just awesome. The living room opened into the ocean view, and although the property is about 350m away from the beach, we never felt like going down to the beach because of the great views of the apartment. Beautiful sun rise views from the balcony. Location of the apartments was easy to find, as there were signages. The unit was extremely clean, decorated tastefully and well maintained,

This is the nicest holiday park I've ever stayed at. It is surrounded by bush and close to a beautiful deserted beach. It was quiet and peaceful. Our glamping tent (the 'luxury swag') was clearly built to a high standard. It had a nice little deck out the front with good solid chairs. There was a basin with running water and plenty of electric points, neither of which tou could take for granted in a tent. There was a toaster and electric jug as well as plates and bowls. The only thing missing was a sharp knife.
