Distinctly Average…

6.0

Perhaps having lived abroad and travelled widely - and only recently relocated back to the Sunshine Coast - we had higher expectations of this place as being something of a ‘5 star’ resort. However, it is nowhere close. Our Spa Studio villa was ‘nice’ in that it had the promised outdoor hot tub, and a pleasant aspect overlooking the rainforest. The bed was big and comfortable too, and the bathroom was huge. We also had a personalised welcome card which was a nice touch. Otherwise it felt very basic. The sliding door entry is reminiscent of a motel, there was a very grubby mat inside for wiping feet (at least leave a clean mat), the towels were threadbare, shower tiles cracked, and overall lacking any character or personal touch - like some fresh flowers instead of pots of diffuser sticks. As for the hot tub, it is actually a 37 degree warm tub that you can’t increase the temperature of - so in a cold month like when we visited it just feels lukewarm. It was also not properly full and the water was very brown. Maybe that’s cedar hot tub water colour, but it seemed slightly strange. I will review the restaurant separately but our experience was generally underwhelming - especially for dinner which was overpriced, under portioned, stiffly served and with an inappropriately expensive wine pairing option which we had to formally complain about and have partially refunded. Breakfast was much better. Plus points are privacy, quiet, location and aspect. If I had paid half what this place cost I might have reviewed it differently, but at AUD $650 a night (with a breakfast included deal), this is a very expensive place by Australian standards, and should be so much better - like a LOT better.
