Villa Tropica

This is a beautiful, large house and fantastic value for money. The photos don’t do it justice! The upstairs area in particular has all been renovated to a high standard. The kitchen is VERY well equipped with plenty of cutlery, crockery, plastic plates and cups for the kids, knives, saucepans, an air-fryer, blender… the list goes on! There are plenty of bathrooms and plenty of space to spread out and relax. A 14-seater lounge is pretty amazing! Everything was spotlessly clean.

We are an extended family of 15 (plus 2 babies) and house is just perfect for 4 couples or families, with 4 different bedroom zones. Upstairs, the master bedroom is straight off the living area (great for the grandparents but wouldn’t work for babies trying to sleep in the day). Then the other 2 upstairs bedrooms are together at the other end of the house. Downstairs there is one very large family bedroom with its own ensuite, which easily slept a family of 4. Then at the other end are 2 bedrooms and a bathroom, all next to each other in their own “zone”. So each family has their own little space.

The laundry is quite large with a great washing machine and dryer.

The pool area is also so much nicer than the pictures. We loved having our own pool and lounge chairs.

The upstairs verandah is HUGE with great views over the water. We enjoyed most evenings out on the deck.

Hints for families – food and supplies can be expensive on the island. Bring as much with you as you can! It’s a great idea to pack some games and activities for the kids in case you get some rainy days.

We were really impressed with Whitsunday Holidays and highly recommend booking your holiday through them. Communication via emails or phone calls was always super speedy, super helpful and informative.

We had a few small maintenance issues with the house during our stay and they were dealt with immediately, pleasantly and with no fuss. For example, we asked for an indoor clothes airer (it rained a lot during our visit!) and one arrived the next morning.

During the week we met the Gardener and also the pool cleaning guy, so the house is really well maintained.

It was so incredibly helpful to be met at the airport and have our luggage (and us!) transported to our house by the friendliest guys ever! Such a great start to our holiday.
