A very basic 3 star motel with a 5 star view in a 5 star location. Worth paying a couple of bucks extra to get a high floor as its a bit quieter and its really all about the view.

Great location, fantastic view and room had all the essential amenities. Lovely and clean. Easy and pretty walk along g beach to ferry for magnetic island. Only complaint was tried to purchase laundry detergent and machine gobbled up coins with no product. When I explained this to reception, they said not their problem with no offer of refund or detergent.

Fantastic Location, we did not have a car and it was very easy to walk everywhere from the Aquarius. The view from the Room was magnificent, our Bathroom was a bit dated but clean. A lot of coffee shops, pubs and eating places are very close as well as a beautiful walking path along the beach. Would definitely stay again.
