We had a wonderful family holiday at Shearwater, enjoying spacious and clean accommodations. The location is perfect for day trips and local exploration, and the staff were incredibly helpful. However, I did notice that while the facilities added to our experience, some areas could use more thorough cleaning, reflecting a bit of age in the resort.

This resort has a lovely location, conveniently close to a stunning beach and a golf course that offers great views. Our stay was enhanced by Craig’s exceptional service and local knowledge, which allowed us to discover some beautiful attractions.

I had a lovely week at the resort, enjoying its great location which made it easy to explore the beautiful coastal area. Although the rooms were a bit tired, they were clean and spacious with a full kitchen. The amenities, like the indoor pool and barbeques, definitely enhanced my stay. However, my dining experience at the bistro left much to be desired, with poor service and a disappointing meal. Overall, it provides good value for a relaxing getaway but with room for improvement.
