My husband and I stayed at Coral Gardens in Jan 2013 and were looking forward to a well deserved rest after the rush of Christmas and New Year. We stayed in the self-catering studio apartment which was fully-equipped and spotless, and we enjoyed lovely sea views together with the private sun-deck. Betty and Peter were wonderfully helpful and were able... More

H&M--you were lovely guests to welcome but sad for us say goodbye. You certainly filled your 5 days with so many activities which we helped arrange such as kayaking ,snorkeling ,boats trips as well as meeting & feeding the turtles in Hoopers Bay. Your photos are a great reminder of some of these activities and will certainly help others with... More

Betty and Peter welcomed us warmly, and were the best of hosts during our stay. Peter is very knowledgeable about the island, and is very effective in matching guests' interests with activities--but as he says, he provides the information and we make the decision. His recommendations were right on the mark for us--places to kayak, best beaches, shelling, outfitters, restaurants,... More

The Oxleys are as wonderfully helpful as their reputation suggests. (We found them initially via Lonely Planet, but reading about them elsewhere, and in the many other positive reviews on this page confirms our experience.) The apartment we had is attached to the main building that has their own place and the B and B rooms. It has a separate... More
