In one word? Exceptional. Kahala is, by far, the best place to stay in all of Australia in my opinion. We started the week with a 2 day Executive Meeting, and then mid week, they departed and the girls arrived for a well-deserved, 5-star retreat. The home is beautifully laid out and spacious with excellent amenities. Read More
We have just returned from yet another fabulous stay at The Cowries - our favourite
home away from home on beautiful Hamilton Island. Perfectly positioned with wonderful amenities, this huge home made our getaway comfortable for our while big family x Read More
This accommodation was absolutely sensational. It was a very special family holiday with our 3 sons & their partners. The service from the beginning to the end was exceptional. The rooms were amazing with brilliant views of the marina. I could never tire from the view. There was plenty of room to be separate if needed and lots of space to all be together. The private pool was an absolute bonus. The theatre room, living room, very spacious dining table, massive balcony that spanned across the whole property with an outdoor seated area & bbq was all just wonderful. The weather was superb everyday. The location was walking distance to everything that you needed. We could walk to the IGA no problems at all, maybe a 4 minute walk. It just couldn't be easier. Thank you so much for providing such great accommodation. We will definitely be going back again. Read More
Lovely LARGE apartment with it's own pool, a bar, 3 fridges and a massive balcony.
As a family of 4, we spread right out so everyone had their own room and bathroom (lucky wife was treated to the oversized main bedroom).
Really close to the Airport, main wharf 5 minute walk away, IGA and bottleshop 5 minute walk away, Front street is a 10-15 minute walk to the Tavern.
The buggy provided makes exploring the island really convenient and fun.
The HI app has all the information and links that you need to plan and book seats at restaurant, cruises, tours and to have pizza delivered.
The management staff are constantly in touch with you, valet collects you from the airport then takes your luggage for you when you depart.
The views from the balcony were my favorite part of the accommodation in the mornings for coffee (pod machine...I left about 50 pods) and afternoon drinkies and dinner.
The kitchen has EVERYTHING that you need to cook whatever it is you want which had us at the IGA daily.
Definitely treat yourself with a stay in this property which will easily accommodate 4 couples (you may need an extra buggy and definitely bring your own beach towels) with heaps of space to spread out.
The property is bigger than it looks in the site photos.
We will be back! Read More

5 stars!
Absolutely amazing house. The 15 of us had a terrific holiday. Lots and lots of room for everyone plus at least another hundred to spend time. Views are unbeatable and pools are the best you could get. Has to be the best accommodation on Hamilton Island with the best of everything. Loved it no end. Read More
