Fabulous location. We had a sea view room on the ground floor and it was awesome to open the curtain and watch emus strolling about and see the bay. In the afternoon, it was awesome to watch the dolphins swimming up and down the beach. Good laundry facilities and great restaurant. Coffee could have been better tasting. Surprisingly, there is much waste with the individual portion of shampoo, etc. Could have refill containers in the bathroom, fixed to the wall. The noise of the fan in the bathroom drove us mad. It was like a jet engine taking off. Need a seperate switch. It is a mystery as to why there are no ceiling fans. Much better than air conditioning! GREAT place for children- lots to do. A shuttle mini bus service into Denham would be good. Love the dolphin research being done. Hire or provide sun umbrellas for international or interstate visitors who fly in.

High price to pay for minimum facilities. And so crowded. I feel as though the aim is to cram as many people in as possible, but charge as thought numbers are limited. Shared kitchen facilities were not clean, though that’s probably the fault of the guests. Staff were friendly. It took a while to find our room, despite having a map, as there were so many rooms, and a strange numbering system.

The dolphin experience was amazing. They patrolled the whole day along the beach and were easy to watch. The emus were a little bit cheeky.

Very overpriced and tired property. Broken shower and very poor, non existent water pressure. Only hotel in the whole of our Australian road trip that has disappointed us…….such a shame as it is in a fantastic location

Didn't realise I had booked a room with a shared bathroom. Didn't realise such a room was within the realm of possibility. We had booked 2 nights, stayed 1. Great location, but the property doesn't strike me as a 'resort' or 'hotel' per se. More like glampgrounds.

Absolutely beautiful place. Well worth the money. We stayed in Room 52 which opens onto the playground, perfect room to have if you're travelling with children. The only negative I have is the room wasn't cleaned until late afternoon, which wouldn't have been too bad if I'd brought my own towels. We saw the staff around and just asked for extra towels to get us through until they'd been to drop off clean ones for our showers, because we used those ones for the pools. We only went to Monkey Bar for dinner and it was nice, the kids really enjoyed the mini burger and chips.

A must stay
Great opportunity to see dolphins in their natural environment. Room was great. Kitchen was available but you needed your own pots and pans - hopeless for an oversea’s traveller! Perhaps have lockers with cutlery etc in?
