The Shores Holiday Apartments

This is a great little hotel and affordable. We stayed with our 3 children, they loved playing in all the different pools. Whole place was really peaceful. Love that the rooms were aircon as it was so so hot outside. Place was nice and tidy too.

We enjoyed the lovely pool and outside spa and the short walk to the beach, but overall our 3 night stay in the townhouse was disappointing. Both the single bed frames creaked loudly every time you moved which resulted in one person sleeping downstairs on the couch for 3 nights!! There was no shelf space to unpack, just hanging space in the main bedroom. The place could really do with a good spring clean as there is a moldy smell in the kitchen cupboards and main bedroom cupboards. There were no cereal bowls, so we bought our own and 2 extra coffee mugs as there was only one. Didn't manage to sit outside on the patio for long as the neighbors were smokers and we're not. Sorry, but we wont be back.

We stayed there 4 times over the last 18 months. Great location good pools nice large spacious unit, friendly mangers very helpful. Backs onto the beach, big barbecue area. Would recommend everyone to stay there.

We stayed at a 2 bedroom villa which was very spacious & private. Very quiet location with the beach at the back of the property for easy access for walks on the long beach. Highly recommend to anyone wanting to unwind & relax. Very well equipped kitchen with laundry as well.

We stayed 5 nights in a Beach Villa, very large, airy and spacious, clean & bright, lovely lush tropical garden views, private patio space with chairs and table. We paid less for just 2 ppl as they lock off the second bedroom, & better value if you stay 2 nights or more. Good value compared with a motel. Beach Villas are the closest units to the beach access but have no view to beach directly, as the property maintains the natural coastal vegetation (good for birdwatching!), but beach is only 90 seconds walk from villa. Beach Villas look to the tennis court, pools and bbq, some kids played out on the grass & families bbqing & swimming, but it wasn't intrusive, and overall very quiet and peaceful (late August). Bit busier on weekend. Parking space outside every unit; it is a bit tight as others have said, but we were fine getting our large Everest 4WD in & could open doors fine to get things out of the car. Terry the manager was most helpful, from original booking, and for a couple of queries. Patio screen wasn't opening when we arrived but he got it fixed very quickly. Internet was a bit interrupted, even on our own mobile data, despite there being a mobile phone tower nearby. Good long walks along beach in both directions, numbered markers indicate where to come back thru to accommodation. 5 mins drive to big Coles, Woollies, post office, petrol. Easy drive into Mackay, 50mins to excellent Cape Hillsborough NP.

Staff where amazing! very friendly and helpful. Great sized unit, close to the beach, good shared facilities. Was a bit out of the way as we where there for sporting events but didn’t stress us to have to drive there and back a few times. Convenient store and takeaway options just around the corner for all the little bits and pieces you may have forgot. Internet connection was limited and interrupted while trying to watch sports but we just watched the free to air versions of available. Other than that the positive is we where able to disconnect from devices for a few days. Units are great value for money. As other reviews mentioned parking is a bit tight but we where aware and prepared so this didn’t bother us. Thank you for having us.
