Comfortable stay near the beach

The York was a great place to base ourselves for a couple weeks. It was clean, comfy, and quiet. We enjoyed having a nice big balcony and a pool, too. Managers Ed and May (Mai?) are very personable, helpful, and easy to talk with. We would go back, for sure.

The unit was very quite and relaxed there is no sea view or partial sea views due to the trees across the road. The area cane be quite noisy on dusk and sunrise due to the flying fox families that live in the bush behind the units. But otherwise i loved the less traffic flow than other beaches. Very clean unit and very safe area Thank you Ed

The property managers, Ed and May, are very welcoming and accommodating. The apartment was very clean and well equiped with everything you need. The location is perfect, but you do need transport, with shops nearby and the beach across the road. There were markets at the beach on the Saturday with local crafts so a nice touch. A relaxing place to stay so if you are looking for a rowdy weekend this is not for you and for good reason. Highly recommend as a place to stay.

Three days at Yorkeys

The York is perfectly located on the beachfront at Yorkeys Knob and east walking distance to supermarket and cafes. Yorkeys Knob is much quieter than Trinity Beach or Palm Cove so the choice of dine out options without a car is limited but this also means it is not busy. Our apartment was spacious, clean and comfortable however the decor was a little dated. The grounds including the large pool are very well maintained and the on-site managers were very helpful. I would stay here again.

I enjoyed my stay but didn't get any advance communication about the check-in until the morning of, which I didn't see, and they seemed a bit annoyed when I arrived at 6pm - mentioned they were waiting for me as I hadn't responded. Unit had everything I needed, but some kitchen stuff seemed old and a bit grimy. Unit is a bit dated, but had everything I needed and priced well. There is no real ocean view as it's completely blocked by trees, so just be aware. That said, it is right across the street from the ocean/beach, so nice for walks, etc.

Not happy

Our room needed a serious update. The lounge and bedroom furniture were very uncomfortable. The bedroom was quite hot at night even with the fan and aircon going. The robe was small and inadaquate for extended stays, as were the kitchen cupboards. We got limited to no phone reception in our room. In our two week stay the sheets and towels were changed however there was no other housekeeping done. Numerous other problems that were not up to a satisfactory standard.
