Had a great stay, 2 nights. We arrived on the last ferry at 1845 Friday evening and was taken by shuttle to the resort. Upon check-in I noticed that there really should have been a line separate for those who had already checked in at River Head reception, because we were left waiting for those who hadn't. We stayed in the King Spa room, view was great, outdoor seating and a big spa bath in the bathroom. Air conditioning got cold reallly quickly which was nice coming inside from the heat. Day 2 we had arranged for a 4WD beauty spots tour which visited Lake Mckenzie, central Station, maheno wreck, and Eli Creek. The 4WD was actually a very large bus. The sites we saw were stunning, beautiful and like nothing I had experienced on the mainland before, the driving to get there was almost sickening, bumping through sand for hours would not be recommended for pregnant women or anyone with motion sickness. The guide explained a lot of the history which was nice and near Eli Creek you have the opportunity to take a scenic flight for $80 which I highly suggest doing as the views were phenomenal. Upon returning we had a delicious dinner at Maheno's, seafood platter for 2. The waiter advised there would be a longish wait so allowed us to take anything from the buffet to start which isn't normally included in the deal. By day 3 we headed home and wish we had longer to relax and enjoy the resort.
