There's a big range of family-friendly cottages – ranging from humble two-bedroom Hibiscus Chalets to two-storey Macaw Mansions – tucked between the palms in this nearly six-hectare, tightly packed, resort village. Kids will love the parrot-filled aviaries, two swimming pools and very cool playgrounds, plus there are tennis courts and barbecue areas. It's 4km inland from the Broadwater, so best with a car.
