I had a mixed experience during my stay. The location was fantastic, just a short drive to Coffs Harbour and right by the beach, which was definitely a plus. However, the apartment I stayed in had significant maintenance issues that made it less pleasing. The cleanliness and comfort were adequate, but there is definitely room for improvement in the overall upkeep.

Rooms

The apartment had huge windows above the bed without any blinds, which made it difficult to sleep in. Additionally, it could use a revamp as some amenities were outdated and the sliding door didn’t close completely, which was concerning.

Service was a bit lacking as it felt rushed and there were some communication issues regarding check-in procedures. My unit was not serviced during my five-day stay, which I found a bit inconvenient.

I had a relaxing three-night stay in a villa that was comfortable and well-equipped, perfect for unwinding by the pool. The service from Bernie at reception was a highlight as he made the check-in process smooth. However, I encountered issues with maintenance at the pools that detracted from the experience. Overall, it’s a good family-friendly spot but could use some upgrades and better attention to safety.

The resort is a charming spot just north of the city, offering a great beach experience. We had a spacious minisuite with easy pool access, and enjoyed family-friendly amenities like tennis courts. However, the lack of consistent Wi-Fi in units was a downside, and the overall upkeep of some areas could use improvement.

I recently stayed at Nautilus Beachfront Villas and had a fantastic experience. The units were spacious and well-maintained, making them perfect for families. The on-site Thai restaurant was a major plus, with delicious food that we couldn't resist for both nights. However, there were some minor frustrations with the service, which felt a bit unwelcoming at times. Overall, it was a great getaway, just a little distance from Coffs Harbour itself.

The location is beautiful, right on the beachfront with lush tropical gardens all around. It’s quite a distance from Coffs Harbour, but the beach is stunning if you don't mind the long drive.
