Our ocean view apartment didn’t exactly have an ocean view but the view to the outside garden was nice. Bedrooms were upstairs but the stairs were dangerously designed and taking suitcases upstairs wasn’t a fun task. Apart from that it was comfortable and warm and a free penguin viewing

The steak I had in the Restaurant was excellent, tasty, tender and cooked just as Irequested. My wife had fish which she enjoyed. The pillows on the bed were a little too large for comfort and caused a mild neck pain.

Beautiful location but there are a few downsides
The location of the resort is wonderful and we had an amazing view from our balcony. The unit was also very spacious. We had dinner at the resort which was very good. The downsides were the room is dated with minimal furnishings but the bed was very comfortable. Also significantly, the phrase Penguin tour is a bit misleading. We stand on a platform on the resort’s grass and hope Penguins come up to the platform area. We are not permitted to enter the beach area where other paid tours go. We stood on the platform 2 nights and never saw a Penguin. If you don’t care about seeing the penguins, it is still a lovely location to stay in. The pool area looks clean and nice too and the views are wonderful.

Rooms are nice enough. Cleanliness was a little average. Potato chips on the couch. Lifted the pillows showing it hadn't been cleaned. Lots of rubbish there. Remote for the TV was missing. Complimentary penguin tour while a nice gesture was disappointing. Host didn't talk, just pointed a light at the penguins. A viewing platform is on the property however people were chasing the penguins disturbing their path. Really inappropriate which should have been stopped.

Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Management seemed to have no idea. I was supposably given the wrong keys to the wrong room only to find out the room wasnt even ready so I had to wait at least 1 1/2 hrs . Washing machine and the laundry room was very dirty and the Dryer door was damaged and hard to close. At least this facility was free of charge. there was a distinct lack of privacy in the lounge/bedroom area as the blinds didnt cover the window leaving a gap at least 100mm(which the morning sun shone through) and there were no blinds at all on the kitchen window. Will not stay again.
