These suites are 1 bedroom, fully self-contained resort apartments with huge spa baths in the ensuites. Upon arrival, the receptionist (Rachel) completed our check in with friendly enthusiasm, recommended a local day spa according to her personal experience and advised us of nearby restaurants and bars to visit. She then wished us a great stay and offered her assistance if we needed anything else. We also requested a pamper package to be added to our stay - when we arrived in our room we found a bottle of champagne in the fridge with 2 chilled glasses, a box of Lindt chocolates and 2 large bottles of delicious smelling bath scrubs and oils. Impressed. As the units are self contained there isn't any room service meals available - however housekeeping do come through the apartments if you show your "Please make up my room" signs and make the beds and provide fresh towels and tidy up. The pool area was always clean and inviting, the beach was directly across the road and all the suites face the ocean. The cost of staying here was not cheap - but considering what it is and how impressed we were with the service I feel like it was definitely worth it. I can honestly say I don't have anything bad to say about my experience with this resort. We've already decided to go back for a weekend stay as soon as we can - reception advised us on checkout they would do what they could to get us the same great room again. Will recommend this resort to anyone!

Spa in the ensuite, with a TV in the bedroom that can be rotated to be seen from the spa. With a pamper package thrown in, you can have a nice champagne and a chocolate while watching your favourite show. We had the luck of having the room from which they had taken the advertisement photo from - literally picture perfect views. I'm not generally a sucker for views but it was nice. Kitchen and living area were immaculate and very nice (check out the pictures!), plus air con throughout. This place is perfect for a weekend getaway where you really want to enjoy spending your time where you are staying and not feel like you need to go out. I paid $762 in peak season for 3 nights and a pamper package, which included bubbly (actually nice, too), Lindt chocolate box, massage oil, exfoliator scrub and a loofa. While it wasn't the cheapest option I have absolutely no regret in what I paid, and feel it was justified. The places are kept really clean, and I spied someone cleaning the lifts, too. My partner and I plan on coming back.

My GPS was lost and we had to do a lap before we spotted the right place. You use your room key for everything. You think I'm kidding but I'm not. Lifts, gym, sauna, pool, room, electricity, car park even the resort doors after hours. Carry it on you all the time or you'll end up stranded somewhere. When you check in they give you a welcome pack that includes vouchers for a couple of local restaurants. Use them, the restaurants are great I especially like Hot Pipis, check my review on that one. The smell when we got to our room was over powering. The cleaners must have dropped a bottle of deodorizer but even they knew it was to much the door to the balcony was left open. I had ordered, and paid for, extra towels which weren't in the room when we arrived. On the way past the front desk I mentioned it and even though it was after hours and one of the reception girls had to sort it for me rather than housekeeping it was sorted right away with many apologies and another restaurant voucher. Hotel does only provide one towel per person so if you need more think about bringing them from home or ordering more. They aren't terribly pricey. You aren't allowed to take room towels to the pool, if you want a pool towel from the hotel there is a $15 deposit and a $5 cost to hire one. It is cheaper to just go buy a towel really K Mart sells them for $4 each in a range of pretty colors. There's an overlook to the pool near the lift area, unfortunately this overlook provides a direct, close up line of sight to anyone who cares to look into our room. Curtains did seal out most of the heat and all of the light on the stinking hot day we had while there allowing us to have a very tranquil afternoon siesta. Didn't get any hall traffic noise and what pool noise we got was drowned out by the white noise coming from the air con. Its a low grade constant rumble so if you have trouble sleeping with noise it could be a problem for you. Luckily I've had a snoring husband for twenty years so it didn't bother me once I adjusted and my husband doesn't hear a thing with his cpap on. The room could do with some easier to reach power points especially near the beds for machines like this. We had to unplug the alarm clock so he could set it up. Having said that the kitchen is well appointed, they supply you with a limited amount of dish detergent and a cloth, scrubber, tea towel. They also give you a limited amount of laundry powder to use with the washer/dryer provided. I recommend bringing your own of both items if you plan on doing more than one load of laundry or dishes. Bring a spare bog roll too as you don't get a refill if you run out (this is not unusual for resorts just a warning for first timers) Hot water is plentiful late at night when I wanted it, can't speak for the rest of the day as showers after pool/ocean were all cold on purpose. This is a family resort, expect there to be kids in the pool all day, They clear out around 6pm presumably for dinner. That leaves the remaining three hours free for adult swim/spa time. Don't expect to be able to talk to someone in the spa. The jets are strong and loud but they will pummel every bit of tension out of you. Not the resorts fault but the whole town shuts down around 9pm even on Friday/Saturday, except the beach, the beach lights were still on and may remain on all night TBH I didn't go look. You are right across the road from the beach and right on the esplanade so if you want to shop during business hours you'll have plenty of options. Like most resorts they expect you to take your rubbish with you when you leave. There is a rubbish shoot right near the lift to make this easy. Leave your rubbish and you risk an extra charge. Check out was easy and they let us leave the car in the car park until we were ready to leave providing we made it back during reception hours so someone could let us down to the car.

The rooms are surprisingly cheap and when you step into your hut, you feel like you got a steal! Our hit was gigantic and overlooked the beautiful green hills. Our room came with a hot tub and separate shower. The amenities were exceptional, all manuka honey. The bed was comfy and the owner of the resort was super friendly! The only complaint was that the bathroom didn't have a door so nothing was romantic in that department. However, it's not enough of a problem to take off a star. I truly loved this place!

The best part about the water park is that it has a little cafe attached to it. So it was easy to jump out and get snacks for the kids without having to dress everyone. The proximity to the beach was great. There was a supermarket next door and lots of food options in the area. Our room was decent. It took a little longer to get into the room than we would have liked and no one called to tell us it was ready (they said they would). All in all a great place and we are planning to come back.

We found this place on booking.com for $189 for one night.. We've stayed at other Oaks resorts before and felt comfortable staying here as we've done had good experiences in the past with other branches of the chain. The resort offers a restaurant and bar - but the main draw card was the kids water pool playground area. We stayed in a one bedroom apartment. The room looked liked it had been recently refurbished. It had modern furniture and decor with a lovely kitchen area. My only dislikes about the hotel were :- 1. The room was very very Dusty.. Thank God the hubby had some Telfast on hand! I was sneezing away and had terribly itchy eyes and nose.. :( 2. The noise from outside our room from other guests in the hall ways and car park were really loud.. And also the constant slamming of doors from other rooms front doors was so annoying.. Overall, the hotel is okay if your staying for a short time and have kids to entertain.. But, the price point is quite high in my opinion..
