Location location location!!!
No restaurant facilities at this property , hope they can sort that out as the views are superb overlooking Taracoola Beach.
The room exceeded our expectations as its newly renovated. Very good value for money.
Very clean & has everything you need for a short stay, fridge, toaster, microwave & kettle.
Was a pleasure to stay .
Only complaint would be the pillows , otherwise can’t fault .

The location of the facility.
Beds , poor quality of reverse cycle air-conditioning very old inner wall mounted. Shower leaking very slippery floor surface on base no anti slip mats no facility for semi disabled ie support grips or shower head adjustment or detachable for semi disabled or elderly people. Hot water system very poor five minutes of hot shower before becoming cold. Administration facilities very poor no attendance for service via phone or in person. Bond on a Unit of $100 ? Never had to pay bond elsewhere for accommodation also return of bond up to 7 days this is poor service. Would not recommend to anyone else looking for accommodation in Geraldton.

Location was lovely close enough to turn
No change of towels no extra toilet rolls no knives to cut any fruit meat veg. Wi fi very very low connection didn't work for us. Servicing the unit was not done over the 4 days of our visit😣 We hope that the renovations etc that are apparently happening also means that units will be better serviced and contact with reception more easily accessed.

Good location, staff extremely friendly and helpful.
Value for money, a nice pool - intend to visit again after renovations are completed.
Overall a nice place to stay.
Cold water was hot not sure if this was a plumbing issue.
It was a little dated but we were advised of this and renovations were imminent.
There were no extra pillows or fans in the rooms.
Fridge was actually a bar fridge expected a full sized fridge

The location is great. Beds were comfortable. Aircon worked well.
It is going to be renovated but at the moment it needs a lot of work, is very run down. While it was clean, the linen was old, dirt blew in under the door but no broom, no sharp knife or cutting board to cut our fruit etc, no hairdryer as stated, not much of anything really. Very disappointed and way over priced for what we got!

Beach front
Old and out dated nothing like advert photos. In the shower HOT water came out of the cold tap, it had to be left running until it was bare able to stand under, No toiletries were supplied, the vanity basin legs were rusted through. The advert stated air conditioned studio with private courtyard this was of poor quality and on the table was a dirty ashtray full of cigarette butts. The studio smelt of cigarettes and disgusting deodoriser to try and mask the cigarette smell. The advert also stated air condition studio there was NO aircon or fan in the bedroom, only in the living area. It was so hot during the night my husband attempted to sleep on the lounge.

Room was about to be demolished & hotel to be renovated, towels smelt bad, room was old & ready for demo, ceiling fan about to fall out of roof, wifi did not work, no restaurant nearby, need a car, bus stop into town right outside

The African Reef was great and once I arrived I had a feeling of deja vu and a hit of nostalgia as though I had been here before. Ryan was friendly and very helpful and I appreciated the fact he worked past close to help my family and I settle in.
We didn't get to use the pool due to only stopping in overnight but that's our fault 😀

Not very much, to be honest.
A lot! There was a power cut twice within an hour of arriving. The doors and windows were hard to open/close and didn’t seem secure. There was ONE outdoor cafe style table and chair inside which was meant to serve potentially FOUR adults! There was no hot water in the shower, the soap dish was broken and duct taped, the furniture looked used and secondhand, the cutlery was dirty and everything we used, we washed first - we didn’t even have a sponge to wash those with, btw! We also couldn’t connect to the “free” wifi and there were bugs inside!
The only redeeming fact with this place: it will be refitted and will have a name change. I guess the only way is up from there!

Good location, I could see the water from my room and it's quiet. Easy parking. Value for money
Would have been better if the door had a fly screen as the room got quite warm when it was cool and breezy outside

My stay failed to meet expectation. The text message advising of my self check in failed to provide a password to access the "Free WiFi" which rather much disrupted my plans.

Good size rooms comfortable king size bed but rooms are in need of restoration as a matter of fact the whole resort has been let go which is a shame as it could be a very desirable place to stay.
I,m sure it was a great place in its day but its over priced for what it is today.
