Shire of Johnstone Romantic Vacations

Outstanding spot and experience.

Nice view of the rainforest from the veranda. Easy late check in. Nice local market to purchase food to self prepare. Nice kitchen.

Truly beautiful resort, my husband and stayed for 9 nights and Adrian and his team were awesome. The apartment was stunning, very well maintained with a super comfy couch in the living room, and a king size bed which was really comfortable. Fantastic amenities included a separate laundry and great kitchen appliances. The swimming pool was immaculately clean and a great temperature (early Sept). Liked that you had a key fob to enter the pool area which made it super safe. Shades and loungers were a great addition, and the BBQ area was perfectly clean - pool towels were also supplied which was great. The gardens in the resort were stunning and beautifully kept. The resort itself is in a great location, there’s a tavern across the road and a convenience store just a few metres down the rd whose coffee was next level good! Then a few more metres and you’re at the stunning beach with a beautiful palm tree walk, and the local shops and restaurants. Loved every minute of our stay, can’t recommend this resort highly enough.

The 3 bedroom 2 bathroom apartment was clean, well appointed and well located. Very spacious unit with everything you would need and beautiful ocean views from the large deck.

Outstanding spot and experience.

Friendly and helpful staff. Beautiful gardens and apartment.

The apartment was very nice, but staff and services were poor. The WiFi was so unstable as to be useless resulting in daily frustration as I tried in vain to handle email, make arrangements, and so on. Parking was available in front of our building initially, but then suddenly not. One evening I drove around for 30 minutes finally got a spot on the far side of the resort after someone left. When I complained about the WiFi, they first acted surprised, then worked with me to log in and finally admitted it was "unstable" and claimed that it was a common problem in the area, which turned out to be false as I was able to log onto WiFi everywhere we went in Trinity Beach, Cairns, and even deep in the Daintree Rainforest. He said he would text me the password for their Starlink service, which he said was for emergencies and such, but never did. The last day we were there they blocked the parking in front of our building to designate 2 of the 6 parking spaces for staff only, leaving 4 for the 6 units. So much for putting the customer first. The gym was pitiful; a tiny dark room with one treadmill, one elliptical, one bike machine, and some sort of combo strength machine. The resort property is small, dense, and surrounded by many other private residences a cramped and confusing layout with a tiny pool.

For me the location was great, just round the corner from the train station and bus station. Easy walk to promenade. Nice modern appartment.

Outstanding spot and experience.
