We live locally and decided to do a staycation as we had family over from the UK. We all had a great time the hotel staff are all friendly and knowledgeable about the local area. Great bars, restaurants all within walking distance. The resort pool was a real winner with our 2 children (4,2). The apartment was well equipped and the 3 bed apartments are a great size and layout was great.

Initially we were booked into a One-bedroom Loft unit which on arrival was very dreary and not maintained. We were very disappointed and relayed this to the Receptionist as this was a celebration long weekend for my 70th birthday with guests from Brisbane attending also. The Receptionist was outstanding and allotted us a newly renovated unit with 2 bedrooms. This was very much appreciated and can recommend her with her outstanding customer service.

Nice but getting tired
Drift is an affordable apartment block but definitely showing signs of ageing.
We stayed in a 2 bed executive apartment which was great for young kids. Just a long walk to the pool. Would recommend but lower your expectations a little. $10 per night cot fee too

Relaxing!
I love this place and I've always wanted to stay here. The pool area is just beautiful with a hot spa and a cool pool! Very invigorating! Beautiful at night! Our room was spacious and had everything we need, but just a bit noisy above, and next door! Next visit I would request an upstairs room with no one above me! But, some people are not bothered by this!. Some things need a bit of TLC, mostly due to the fact that they are privately owned units! Nice and spacious, and in a very convenient position for restaurants bars and ice creams etc! Staff were very friendly on the front desk! I wish this business all the best for the future!
