“It couldn't have been any better!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 January 2012
2
people found this review helpful

I needed an escape which fused serenity, solitude and comfort. I got it at Marlin Waters Beachfront Apartments. I breathed a sigh of relief when I entered into my apartment and saw its clean, modern, cool and spacious interior. When I stepped onto the balcony, the sigh became a feeling of exhilaration when views of the glassy ocean peaked through the gorgeous tall old paper-bark gum trees that lined the street below. Oh wow! Oh wow! I never imagined it could be so good! By day I walked and lay on the beach, and by night I took to the serenity and coolness of apartment where I sipped wine and pondered life from my balcony. After 5 days, I had found peace, relaxation and truly enjoyed my solo indulgence.

Rhonda, the onsite manager, was always courteous, friendly and I felt as if had known her for years. She was respectful of the purpose of my holiday but still made her presence felt when our paths crossed. Thank you for a most memorable stay. I will be back to detox from the real world I live and work in!

Room Tip: If you don't ask, you don't get! I asked for a quiet spot, and got it!

We have just spent 6 nights here and it has been the best accomadation of our trip Down Under.The apartment was,clean,spacious and had the most fabulous view.Rhonda and Chris couldnt have been more helpful,dropping us off at the grocery store when we arrived so we could stock up on provisions,and booking some great trips. Rhonda also organised wireless internet access for us at a very reasonable price.The pool was great for a refreshing dip and the location perfect,being opposite the netted area of the beach.Thankyou Rhonda and Chris,we will be back one day!

Room Tip: All apartments face the sea with a fabulous balcony and view.

“Loved the Beachfront Location”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 November 2011

person found this review helpful

We were tossing up between staying at a resort like Peppers or Mantra but decided to stay at Marlin Waters because of its units all being on the beachfront at a similar price to the units in the other resorts with no view.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The apartment was spacious and modern. The bathroom and kitchen have been recently upgraded.

The furniture is a little dated and the sofa bed a little uncomfortable to lie on as a lounge chair but still quite acceptable.

The only negative was that the balcony needed sweeping and the table cleaning. We appreciate that the trees in the front of the units are continually dropping leaves but it would have been nice to have had the balcony swept before we arrived.

Would definitely stay there again.

“Thanks Rhonda and Chris!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 August 2011

We have had absolutely the most fabulous vacation of our lives here in Marlin Waters! Not only do you have fabulous waterfront views, the sounds of all kinds of exotic bird calls at night, and a spacious and beautiful apartment at your disposal, but your hosts Rhonda and Chris Henderson genuinely love making people happy, so you are in great hands from beginning to end. Rhonda and Chris helped us with booking trips, directing us not only to the more popular destinations but also little-known getaways like spectacular FitzRoy Island, where you can combine a peak to the summit first with reef snorkeling afterwards. We definitely are planning to come back--what a great time--it is VERY hard to leave!

Room Tip: All of the rooms face the ocean, so no worries there!
