* Casuarina Cove 1 * Hamilton Island

This property is in a terrific location close to Front Street but still elevated enough to have great views. We had a family of 4 (2 Adults 2 Kids) plus another adult couple staying at the property so it was perfect for us with the 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Our only gripes are as follows:

1. The bathrooms are tired and as a result didn’t feel like they were totally clean. We perhaps need to cut them some slack given the climate.

2. The premises aren’t that secure. We locked ourselves out once and were able to get in by simply lifting a screen door out of its tracks to dislodge the latch ( without damaging anything).

3. The air conditioning in one room didn’t work properly.

4. The clothes dryer was filthy - we couldn’t use it as it left lint all over the clothes put in it, despite leaning the lint filters. We had to rig up a mike shift clothes line on the balcony.

With all of these things fixed we would rate 5 star.

The house is big enough and in a good position. Unfortunately the beds are double, very small, and the blanket provided was a single, so one of you went cold. The bed was also old and saggy. It felt like the owners had put their old furniture into the holiday home. Also limited plates, cutlery and cups. Coffee machine but no coffee pods, and a very small amount of tea and condiments. Bit below par compared to Hamilton island holiday homes
