If you're looking for somewhere private, a stone's throw to the beach and the most hospitable staff in the area, look no further. Highly recommend the cocktails at Panda to compliment a sunny afternoon on the lawn and the local pizza, Pizza Do'h.

Pleasant weekend away.

We only booked for two nights and were blown away when we walked into the unit. It was spacious, exceptionally clean and had all of the necessities. All of the appliances were modern, including the oven and microwave. Having an independent bar/restaurant at the front of the resort with quality food was an additional benefit. The resort staff were very courteous and with the beach just over the road, how could one go wrong? We will definitely return.

The property itself was lovely and the staff were friendly and helpful. Our room was really nice and cosy, and had everything we needed - a proper kitchen for cooking, a coffee machine, a modern bathroom, and a private outdoor courtyard for relaxing or having a meal. The restaurant connected to the resort was really nice also and had a great happy hour. It would be amazing if they served breakfast too! We didn’t use the pool so can’t comment on that. The location was great in terms of beach access and being so close to the Blairgowrie shops. However the shops were quite small and didn’t have many dining options. There were also some drunk people hanging around outside the resort and being aggressive to people passing in the afternoon/evening and I felt too unsafe to walk to get dinner so I sent my partner. My partner worked out that the drunk people were staying a couple of doors down, they weren’t locals, so not an ongoing issue but unfortunate timing for us. All in all I’d definitely stay again though!
