Great stay. There is everything you want from a resort. Breakfast was fantastic, with a chef making omelets and other dishes on demand, fresh juice machine, etc... Only 1 hour drive from downtown Brisbane.

Room great, service exceptional, location awesome ……. Only “complaint” would be the lack of table staff option in the lagoon bar. Appreciate its casual dining but as a family of four ordering, with the arrival timing of different meals, different flow rate for guests, any additions required…. Every interaction involved leaving the table and standing in a long line at the bar. Disrupted a family meal quite a lot.
