Agnes Water Beach Club

Clean, friendly staff and good value for money.

Disappointing We were excited about our stay and when we arrived the hotel looked nice and well presented. The lady at reception was friendly and check in was simple and easy however the operational hours weren’t very late. Once we got up to the room was when things became disappointing, the walk to the room is all tiled so on a rainy afternoon these were extremely slippery, especially with two young children and juggling luggage. There are no lifts so all luggage had to be carried upstairs. The rooms are dated and have minor damage that made the room not look appealing. The bench had an air-conditioner above it which had dust spilt onto the bench from the system or it hadn’t been wiped down. When we arrived all the air conditioners and doors were open, which on a rainy day was a bit strange, but once we closed everything up we worked out why, the room had a musky cigarette sort of smell, under the bench was a ashtray. The room was non smoking but I assume other guests must smoke on the balcony with the smoke drifting into the rooms. All the skirting and tops of light switches and surfaces were all dusty, the bed creaked everytime you rolled over and wasn’t very comfortable, the bathroom had mould on the silicone edging and on the blinds next to the shower. Everything in the unit felt damp. Finally you can hear everything outside, the walls must be quite thin. We heard other guests talking and going to their room all night. I would not be staying again.

We stayed here for two nights, arriving after reception hours on the first night. Communication for check-in was comprehensive and we found our way to our apartment no problem at all. We were in a ground floor unit, facing the roadway. The first thing we noticed was how well presented the apartment was, and it was spotlessly clean. It was also cool with fans and aircon, very much appreciated on a hot, humid day. The kitchen had a full size fridge, and was well stocked with utensils and crockery. The large TV in the lounge area had access to streaming services, as did the wall mounted TV in the bedroom. The outdoor area had table and chairs and a small BBQ to use. The bathroom had a shower over bath set up, as well as a washing machine and dryer. We felt very much at home in this apartment. The only thing we would change are the pillows on the bed - they were a bit flat for us as we like sleeping with the head of the bed raised. Personal preference of course. The bed was otherwise quite comfortable. There is a procession of people walking back and forth on the pathway out front during the day as the main beach is at the end of the street. An easy walk from the apartment to the beach, as well as to the shopping complex nearby. We can recommend the Round Hill pizza for dinner, very tasty. The cafe makes a great coffee too and we noticed the fish and chip shop was very popular. Over the road from the shops and next to the petrol station you'll find a van selling fresh seafood, we had the best prawns from here. You're also just down the road from beautiful 1770, a must to explore when you're in this region. We really enjoyed our stay here, and grateful we were able to get an apartment at reasonably short notice. We'll be back!
