"Nice accommodation, nothing to say against it. Even if it is located on a main road, it’s quiet and calm. Nothing to regret. Only, the choice (e.g. a nice salad is missing) of food in the restaurant could be more diverse. But there’s nothing to say regarding the quality of the food! "

The view from the terrace is amazing and you will have the opportunity to feed the cockatoos in the morning and see a variety of birds all day long - we also saw parakeets! Mick and his team are...

It’s very basic and definitely a bit tired but is pretty much what I’d expect for the price and type of accommodation. Shower was very bad though, at some points just big drops of water.

"Generally a good stay, in a great location to the town centre and amenities. Would have benefited from a deeper clean (dusty, soap scum in the bathroom, mould in tbe sink), some additional towels (we stayed for 8 days so a second set other than beach towels would’ve been appreciated) and there was only 2 indoor chairs despite bed capacity for 3 people. We contacted the owners a few times through Expedia with no response either, which was a bit disappointing. But overall a good stay. "

"This property very close to town center you have a massive hill to climb or you can uber up. The heart of reef shuttles are not good for endeavor location if you are over 50 as they don’t stop at your unit you have to bring your own bags up . I’m 72 and if it wasn’t for someone who watched me struggle I wouldn’t have made it up . "

"Fantastic property for a family holiday. The apartment was huge and had everything you need and want. The outdoor space is expansive and takes advantage of the incredible views. The facilities are clean and tidy. The staff were friendly and helpful too. The walk up from town and to the apartment is definitely challenging but we were well aware of that. It’s the price you pay for the absolutely amazing views. We didn’t want to leave and will definitely be back. "
