Independent in Tam O'shanter from AU$82

"I liked the privacy. The pool in the middle of the cluster of rooms. Easy access and walking distance to shop and entertainment."

"Loved our 2 weeks at Mission Reef retreat...so close to the amazing beach...our apartment was spacious and very comfortable...Leon and Michelle were perfect hosts...would definitely love to stay again."

"This place is a gem! Perhaps our favorite of 6 places along the Queensland coast. Super-quiet, very modern, like a cabin in the woods, on the beach! Steps from a gorgeous long stretch of beach (no one on it in late July), nice plunge pool, good amenities, although not a full kitchen. (Who knew you could microwave salmon?) There is a cart for luggage, 2 minutes’ walk to the property. So private yet 5 minutes from restaurants. We will be thinking of it months from now. "

"Recommend "

"The staff were friendly and really made the trip. Everywhere was clean and the gardens beautiful. My only issue was the food, looked pretty but I didn't think it compared to the rest of the hotel. Breakfast was good but not such a fan of the dinner menu."

"Absolutely loved the quiet and environment. Perfect getaway place."

"It’s a good place to stay. The staff and the owners are very accommodating people. Actually it’s not my first time to here. I came back."

"Glamping at its finest! Great staff"

"We stayed here for three nights with my husband and two sons. The apartment is well located for the beach, shops and restaurants. There has been some effort to improve the apartment with the kitchen and bathroom looking relatively recently renovated. Weirdly, in the second bedroom, there are lamps attached to the wall either side of the bed but they don't work because they are not plugged in - there isn't a single powerpoint in that room! I found the apartment quite dark and not a really lovely place to stay during the day as there was also no view of any kind. Unfortunately, during our stay, the pool was under maintenance, otherwise, I would have spent time during the day sitting poolside. The bed in the main bedroom could do with a new mattress. It sagged heavily in to the middle which made sleeping difficult. A new mattress would increase my rating."
