Thank you really enjoyed our stay
We had a lovely five days at Tangalooma Resort and stayed in one of the beach front villas.
Location was amazing with wonderful views over the beach and beyond. The villa itself was good although quite tired looking in parts and could do with some updates.
The tv didn't work and one of the keys didn't fit the lock well. The bathrooms are very dated. The eateries were ok but expensive as expected on an island. Coffee at the cafe was great. Fresh seafood plates from the restaurant next door was incredible and so fresh.
The staff all over the resort were very helpful and polite all the time. Overall a nice relaxing place.
Everything is made as easy and convenient as possible set in the beautiful Moreton Island landscape.
