We were four adults and two children. Downstairs is the Master Bedroom with an ensuite and a private outdoor parents retreat with a hot and cold shower and luxe toiletries from al.ive.
Upstairs is two good size bedrooms. Bedroom 3 can be either configured for a king-size bed or two singles. We opted for the two singles for our children. There is a bathroom on this level. There is also a separate toilet downstairs near the dining area.
All the natural linen bedding and organic cotton towels have been provided by Eco-Downunder. The beds are extremely comfortable giving us all a great night’s sleep.
Fans and air-conditioning have been installed in all bedrooms.
We loved the interior design both downstairs and upstairs created by Ash from @curated_property ( you can check out her Instagram page here).
The natural materials and tones used throughout the property gave it a very peaceful, tropical and stylish vibe.
Downstairs is the state-of-the-art kitchen. Everything we needed to self-cater for a couple of nights was provided. There are some great Palm Cove restaurants but it was good to know that we could come back and bbq and enjoy dinner around the alfresco outdoor dining table.
An indoor dining table is provided that seats 6. There is bar seating around the kitchen bench and the lounge was extremely comfortable for all of us. Most of the time we sat outside in the alfresco area watching the children either swimming or playing on the lawn.
The interior showcases artwork for Jai Vasicek, Brittney Ferns & Thea Skelsey.
The lush green tropical oasis has been designed by JSW Landscapes and created by DS Property Specialists.
At sunset, we loved sitting on the oversized deck with a sundowner whilst the kids went swimming. During the day the pool cabana was our choice to relax or we sat in the pool on the inbuilt pool seat bench.
Car parking is available for two cars. There is a washing machine and dryer in the garage.
The complex is small and has got very good security. On arrival, you have a code that gives you access through the main gate. Once you check in there are a set of keys for the main entry gate and for the double garage.
Check-in was easy. The day before you arrive you are provided with your own personal access code for their security lock box according to your arrival time.
Check-out was easy it was just a reversal of the check-in but leaving all the keys inside the front door.
Communication was easy with Superhost Rob throughout the whole booking process and during our stay if we needed anything clarified.
