Set in Hamilton Island, 1.2 km from Catseye Beach, Hidden Cove on Hamilton Island by HIHA offers air-conditioned rooms with free WiFi. This apartment is less than 1 km from Hamilton Island Marina. The apartment features an outdoor swimming pool and free shuttle service. We were greeted by someone the airport and driven to Hidden Cove. The unit also comes with a golf cart/buggy. The buggy was at the airport, and my husband drove it to the until while our greeter drove the rest of us and our luggage to the unit. The layout was great for our family of 6. Three bedrooms each with an en suite bathroom plus an additional half bathroom. The views were amazing. Great balconies. The infinity edge pool was gorgeous. Only having a 4 seater buggy was challenging because there were 6 of us. I don't know if a second buggy could be rented and where it could have been parked. There was only enough parking at the unit for one. Transportation back to the airport was arranged by the rental agency. We had to check out at 10, but our flight was not until 3, so they took us to resort center to each lunch, shop, etc while we waited and then took us to the airport closer to our flight time.

The guesthouse is a very nice and calm stay, with a beautiful view from the terrace. When you are enjoying the breakfast, you can even have the chance to have an interaction with the local cockatoos. Mick, you are an amazing host and a very pleasant person to have around. Cheers!
