Dining onsite is anchored by Copper Spoon Thai Restaurant & Bar, a popular spot among guests praised for its flavorful cuisine and lively cocktails.

What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“Great view from our 9th floor 2/1 bedroom apartment. Very clean and good amenities. Lots of thoughtful extras, arrival drinks in foyer, liquid hand wash in bathroom, beautiful shower products. The hotel is not super luxurious but still special for a weekend away if you get a view. The on-site Thai restaurant is really good and very busy, excellent cocktails. Very close to local shops and cafes.”
“The staff are amazing! Special mention of Jake - your kindness was so much appreciated - I wish the world was full of beautiful humans like you! Great location, lovely and peaceful - just what was needed. Very spacious studio room with spa bath. A little dated but very clean. The bedding was so comfortable, including the high quality pillows. The special check in bubbles was an extra lovely touch. Highly recommend on all fronts!”
“Fabulous place with a wonderful view from our apartment. Welcome drink on arrival with very friendly & helpful staff. Thai restaurant across from reception & offered a discount. Apartment beautifully furnished with balcony to take in the view - will definitely be back”
“Great location and incredibe view. Daughter loved the pool! Staff and residents extremely friendly. Room slightly outdated and wasn't as clean as we would like - however we would 100% stay again.”
“Fantastic beachside resort for families. The apartments are spacious and the resort offers access to a pool, tennis court and common leisure areas. The pool is fantastic, with a water slide and shaded seating. The local area is not too busy, and the beachside location is excellent. We enjoy sunset views of the beach from our balcony, and Glasshouse Mountains from the common areas behind us. There are plenty of dining options within a short walk, as well as proximity to a shopping strip with IGA, pharmacy, shops and cafes. We enjoyed our stay!”
