Fantastic stay for kids. The rooms could use a refresh but most of the time was spent outside. The pool facilities and cafe are wonderful. Easy walking distance to woolies, chemist and the beach. Pac Fair a very short drive too. Only thing would be to request a ground floor room if you have little ones as the stairs become quite cumbersome.

We stayed at Turtle Beach as we needed 3 bedrooms and had a 3 year old with us. The pool/play areas were great and very well maintained. The unit itself was large, clean, and very comfortable. Easy 5 min walk to a supermarket, chemist etc. The onsite restaurant was very nice with enormous meals. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend . We didint mind the fact that the whole space is very dated, tired and in need of a makeover.

The room was a bit outdated, I think the TV in the lounge room could be bigger for families. For the price you pay per night i didn't think it was good value for money considering mini golf and other activities all cost us extra. The food at The Deck restaurant was great. We thoroughly enjoyed all the pools.

Great place to stay with a 6 and 9 year old, the 2 bedroom apartment was a great size and had a good sized kitchen for cooking. The pools and splash zone were great for the kids and it was only a short walk down to the beach. Apartment was great on those hot nights for sleeping also. Would definitely return in the future.

The property is in a nice location, the property it self and the grounds were very well looked after and very well maintained like a tropical oasis. Our room, was clean for the most part however there was mould in the showers. As its a self-contained unit, we had to buy washing powder to wash towels and had to pay for any extra toilet paper etc. They have a washing machine and dryer in the room which was amazing and super helpful as we were there for a week. Other down side was there was only 1 ac unit in the whole 2bedroom unit. This was located in the main living area, therefore the bedrooms were very hot and stuffy but did have fans. There are no lifts at all, throughout the facility therefore we had to carry our bags up 3 flights of stairs and we were on the 1st floor. We have toddlers and as much as we wanted to be on the ground floor it was a blessing that we weren't as we had a balcony and the kids couldn't run off. A lot of the ground units, dont have any barriers to keep the kids in once you open your slidding door to your patio seating area.
