Orpheus Island Scuba Diving Holidays

The location was great . The bed was the worst bed I have ever slept on avoid level 2 room 8 . It was as hard as a rock , perhaps reception could have mattress toppers on hand should you need it which would have made all the difference from a good stay to a great stay .

The view across the creek to the Cowboys Stadium was great. The floor plan worked well for our needs - car park and checkin was awesome - but there were some things which could’ve been better. Information about local facilities and things to do would’ve been appreciated. Also, maybe some security advice. The place also could have benefited from more soft furnishings to dampen the echo which was very hard to deal with. The TV was awful - too small and terrible sound. The beds were clean, but too soft. Taps kept falling off, missing drain coverings in sinks, and one floor wastes was loose in one of the showers. One blind was also not attached, so we couldn’t close up at night properly. More utensils, crockery and kitchen equipment to make it more self sufficient would have helped. The sauna also didn't work. The locations was okay… not really near anything,

Would likely stay again considering the location, convenience and general style of the apartment. Spacious and roomy 2 bedroom modern styled apartment with high ceilings. Bathroom plus ensuite on main with seperate laundry room. Well equiped for a long stay. Good outlook to the NW. it was useful to find a guide booklet with all the appliance instructions. Car park has very reasonably sized spaces with easy access, although one needs to make many turns to reach the higher levels. While the apartment had many newer features there were a number of minor maintenance needs that hopefully are on the to do list. The most significant the sliding blinds on the NW facing patio doorways were missing sections and not all interlocking as per new requiring some care when handling and not fully closing off the glass. We were not a fan of the style of modern low backed lounges provided, considering our less than youthful bodies. The outlook of the apartment provided in the complex will vary depending on the floor (up to 20) and whether facing the NW, NE or SE. Worth confirming prior to booking. Cannot say how our appartment compares with any others offered in the complex.

I have used the Holburn previously many times over the past 10 years. That is why I booked there this trip. I was really disappointed. The property is now very tired looking and in need of a complete refurbishment. My apartment had many cockroaches running around the unit so I had no choice but to put all food etc in the fridge at all times. Thank goodness there were cafes and eateries nearby. The reception staff seemed to keep strange irregular hours, so connecting with them was difficult. Also, read their cancellation policy. They do not refund. Overall, I would not stay there again as it wasn't a pleasant stay.

Good place, clean room, good view, my only gripe was the air conditioning unit was on the balcony, which made the balcony almost unusable due to the noise it created and the warm air it was blowing along the balcony

Good location and a fun vibe - helpful staff and it's convenient for food and drinks Although the bar by the rooms closed at 10pm the music from an adjoining establishment and ongoing shouting in the street continued past midnight - not an issue last time I stayed, but my room this time was closest to the street.

Great value. It was a transition stop before going to Magnetic Island

The rooms are excellent . Great service and views from the rooftop bar. Would recommend Ardo for anyone wanting a relaxing stay
