Very Good

We loved our stay here for the stunning location , excellant reception and service, pool and ocean swimming, massage and standard comfortable room in the hotel itself. We found the restaurant overrated on the actual dinner, breakfast was excellant.
Amazing experience. Hotel was great, we were able go sign out kayaks and enjoy the private dock. Staff are also very friendly.
Only suggestion is to update the pool area as it could be set up a bit better to
It was a family weekend to celebrate my husband's birthday but it didnt feel special. Neither the resort or the restaurant mentioned anything about our special weekend. The carpeted rooms felt dingy and there were hair n the living room and washroom. On top of that there was a brown stain on one of the towels. The highlight was the complentary kayaking and the ocean view from our family room.
Lovely property, friendly staff, and stunning views. Lots of little added touches as well such as complimentary smoores and dog balls and beds for the four legged friends. Will definitely be back!
The locations is so low-key. The whole setup of the resort is beautiful and the experience was absolutely fantastic.

Clean nice room. Stayed in the cabin. Loved how close it was to the ocean. Quiet and peaceful.
Room service menu was out dated and not available. Restaurant staff was slow otherwise food was good.
Such a wonderful property with incredible ocean views - very quiet and peaceful. The pool was an added bonus. The only minor maintenance items was the broken seal in the window which concealed the spectacular view. Highly recommend this property to couples, families or anyone seeking the ambiance of west coast living. The dining room was closed for the 2 nights we were there but there are lots of other dining options relatively close by or bring your own picnic to enjoy on your own private deck!

Beautiful resort overall. The room was clean and comfortable, the view was great, restaurant was very nice and the foods was really good. There was a wedding while we were there and the music was pumping ‘til late in the evening (which wasn’t expected) so that kinda killed the peaceful vibe, but at least the music was good (LOL). Complimentary kayaks, which was great, though the one my husband got was in dire need of repairs. Pricey resort but nice. On a side note, I had mentioned that my husband and I were there to celebrate our 29th wedding anniversary but there was no recognition/gesture to acknowledge this, which I thought was kind of lame given what we paid for our weekend there.
My friend and I loved our stay in our signature tent! The view was amazing, the staff lovely and the food at the restaurant was delicious! The complimentary kayaks are an added bonus! We can’t wait to return!
Had a wonderful 1-night stay, the room was spotless and the fireplace was on to warm up the tenthouse! Breakfast at the restaurant was delicious! Would stay again for sure, and for longer!

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Location is unbeatable however the property is really showing its age. Stayed here a few times over the last 20 years, the main lodge and amenities need some major tlc or overhaul.
Staff were nice but didn’t match the nightly room price point. For $500 plus a night I’d expect a lot more, seemed aloof generally.
Room in the main lodge was renovated and clean, nice big mini fridge/freezer.
Unfortunately when we were leaving we noticed a massive brown stain on the bed sheet, so gross but was at the end so not much could really been done. Not sure how a staff member making the bed thought this was ok, let alone why someone thought the sheet was ok out of the wash.
Would we stay again, maybe. The coast doesn’t have a lot of options for oceanfront accommodation. Great spot and peaceful, mostly needs some maintenance to match expectations.
One of the best spots on Sunshine Coast island, quiet, and hidden in nature beauty. Resort is well maintained, boardwalk lighting, outdoor seating, and fire pit area is great options for families. We stayed with two toddlers, it was good fun time for them, and we enjoyed our stay a lot.
We thoroughly enjoyed the accommodations and tranquil experience that this resort offered. The cabin was clean, stocked with amenities, and cozy. The staff were great, food at the restaurant was delicious, and the atmosphere was enjoyable. We will definitely be returning for another stay here.
Our stay was amazing overall! The view was absolutely breathtaking — right in front of the ocean and perfect if you love nature and peaceful vibes. We booked the premium suite with balcony, and everything was super good. The room had AC and all the basic amenities we needed for a comfortable stay.
The property itself is a bit old, and the wooden washroom door was slightly crooked, but it wasn’t a huge issue for us. The highlight was definitely the stunning view and location. Also, the food at TuBird restaurant was bomb — we really enjoyed it!
If you’re going mainly for the view, nature, and relaxing atmosphere, this place is awesome.
