Stayed here before boarding a boat for the barrier reef. Room was very nice with two double beds and a balcony overlooking the sea. All mod cons. Safe, TV, hairdryer, tea/coffee making facilities and alarm clock. No DVD player but a desk and 3 chairs in the room. Mini bar very expensive, wifi also had to be paid for and... More

We held a fundraising function at the Tradewinds and I have nothing but praise for the staff. It was so easy to arrange the function. Michael our wonderful waiter / carer on the night was brilliant. he constantly made sure everything was as we needed. The platters from the Kitchen were fantastic and great value for money.

The room was large and very comfortable, and had everything we needed. The location was walking distance from everything we needed but... More

I enjoyed my stay in the hotel, a very large comfortable room with a great ocean view, and a very reasonable rate for 3 nights. The front desk was unable to help me retrieve a voicemail from the phone system, but were otherwise helpful. The only bad part was the breakfast, which I only had on the day I checked... More
