Carl and Mandy were so welcoming and friendly. We were visiting from Los Angeles, and they helped us with all our questions regarding transportation, bookings and lost luggage. It's a great spot to visit for fun, relaxation, and walks on the beach. There's also a restaurant on-site called Hidden. The staff is also welcoming and friendly. The Reuben sandwich is different than I'm used to, and it was amazingly delicious! We also enjoyed the yummy brekkie burger, crispy chicken dinner, and Hidden House Salad.

The attached restaurant was convenient for breakfast and dinner and the food was tasty. The small shopping centre nearby had medical, pharmacy, barber and groceries and some eateries. The local boat club is very nice inside and great meals. Our internet worked well and the beach was a short walk from the rear of the apartments .This was our first time holidaying outside of Cairns city and we loved it.
