This property is right on the beach with an easy path to walk on or take a nice bike ride. We were in a beachfront 2 bedroom and the lawn in front was well manicured and beautiful. The kitchen was fine with a two burner stove, oven and large refrigerator. The thing we did not like was that the bathroom was not in good condition. The glass shelf in the main shower was tilted and could not hold the shampoos etc. The bathroom and bedroom really need a renovation and update. For the price we paid the apartment was ok being close to the beach but not ok in the amenities or the old out dated bedroom & bathroom. Another thing was that we feel the apartment should have a few beach chairs to use or the reception should rent them. A lounge chair for the patio would be nice too. The jacuzzi they show in the pictures for all to use was not heated! To complete my review: the property was fine as far as the landscaping and close proximity to the beautiful beach but the apartment needs a renovation to improve.

Whist it has the name ‘resort’ in name, there was no service experienced by us. The women who handed the key cards made no effort, never asked if we were enjoying ourselves. There is no bar, or restaurant. Only three sunshades at the overcrowded pool. Whilst the location to the beach is excellent, then so are all the options along that stretch of the beach. Nothing to draw us back to stay at this hotel again. Simply large accomodation.

We stayed in a 2 bedroom plunge pool apartment. Directly in front was the pool/spa/steam room, and then the beach. Our getaway was so relaxing! Only negative was the main pool temp....it was freezing....but kids still swim in it!!!

Overall amazing for family holidays, we stayed in the x4 bedroom house with the plunge pool which created a nice ambiance however, the plunge pool wasn’t made to suit older people due to difficulties getting in and out! there’s one high step. The house had everything you’d need, the bbq came in handy everyday, utensils and x4 different kinds of wine glasses were available, private outdoor terrace in every room. Steam room, pool and spa was fantastic and clean.

Very good but Not quite 5 Star
The location is amazing. The accommodation is self contained and if good quality (except the bed and pillows) but requires some upgrades. No coffee machine whilst no cafe or restaurant on site!! The service was where this falls over. Despite multiple nights stay, no housekeeping offered!! The resort was fairly empty but another couple with young child were allocated the adjacent unit. Need better soundproofing if you are going to have different guest groups upstairs and downstairs. Downright lazy!! At this price level really there are no excuses.

Loved the plunge pool and layout of the little houses. This stay they did not unlock the configured rooms so that we had access to a safe which was a little concerning as they made a special mention to lock away valuables due to recent robberies in the area. One other point is the deodoriser they use on the couch which was overpowering and left us sneezing and with hay fever, we had to cover them with a blanket in order to sit on them. We loved the main pool and the location is amazing. We also enjoyed the extra services they allow on their property such as pastry van and The Welll Dressed Potato. Rather than a coffee van a little coffee machine in each house would be ideal, At reception you could purchase pods or coffee beans. We like to relax in our Panama’s and enjoy our coffee. We enjoyed our stay, it was very comfortable and we will be back.

Great family holiday.
We had a great family holiday. There was an occasional maintenance issue but these were resolved promptly and with a smile. Our main disappointment was the fit-out of the living area. There seats were attractive to the eye but not at all comfortable to relax in. There ware 8 of us in a 4 bed room townhouse. Only to comfortable places to lounge.

Beautiful resort with direct beach access
We had a great 5 day break in Busselton and staying at Aqua just topped it off. With access to the beach through lovely, well-maintained grounds, we had a lovely luxury two bedroom ground floor apartment with a plunge pool. Our apartment had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable and relaxed. The rooms were well proportioned and the combined lounge, dining and kitchen had a beautiful view out on to patio, BBQ and our own pool. The resort is south of Busselton town center, but nothing that a 10 minute drive couldn't sort. We were only 19km from Dunsborough and not too much further to get to Yallingup and Margaret River and all the attractions this beautiful area offers. Just to top off the experience, a coffee van came each day and luckily parked right near our unit.

Great place and couldn’t fault much at all! Although WiFi was a little hit and miss with connection very poor and shower strength was little weak. Other than that everything made up for it and would come again anytime!

Modern apartment, right on the beach
We headed down to Busselton after work and were able to grab our keys and settle in despite the office being closed when we arrived. They were really accommodating and made that process super easy for us. The apartment was excellent, exactly what we needed for the weekend. I loved the location and privacy, and would definitely recommend for short and long stays

Wonderful stay for a large family reunion
Great family gathering, lovely large house, perfect for entertaining and well-situated for the beach and coastal walks. Nice pool area, generally all was well maintained and the one issue we had with connecting to the music system was quite cult resolved. Would recommend.

Luxury in every sense of the word
Although pricey for the plunge pool houses, it is worth every penny as the house has all of the luxurious creature comforts you could ask for, the plunge pool is heated so it's worth a wintery trip to Busselton knowing you can still get wet! The Grove Plunge Pool houses are so close to the beach that when in the plunge pool, just laying back & hearing the waves crashing is extremely therapeutic. Also the gardens with the birds chirping, it is extremely peaceful. I am addicted to this place & it's my go to when in need of spoiling myself & my family/friends.

Good location, great break
Greeted by a wonderful receptionist and this set the tone for our week long break. The property was finished to a high standard and was spotless. A car is vital to get around but there's lots to seed and do

vacation park
This is not a service hotel but a holiday vacation park. We stayed out of season, but the accommodation was very good. Fully equipped apartment so we could cook our own meals. The park did not have its own Restaurant. Right on the beach

Tranquil retreat
We stayed in a 10 bed plunge pool apartment. The living spaces were lovely, light, airy, spacious and modern The backyard was remarkably tranquil and quiet with lots of shade and grassed areas. The rooms and facilities were lovely. Better for 2 families as there were 2 master bedrooms, then 2 other rooms one of which had 4 bunk beds. Not so ideal for 5 couples which we were. Very short walk to the beach. Great 25 mtr lap pool.

Beautiful house, only problem is you cant get any room service, there is no bar or breakfast etc so more of a rental house rather than a hotel. Approx 35 mins from the MR Wine Region.

Beautiful luxurious accommodation
We were impressed by the finishing and how well equiped the units were. The beds were comfortable and the living area is spacious. There is a luxurious feel to the unit. The courtyard is secluded and great for outdoor entertaining and for kids to run around. We enjoyed our stay there and will definitely be looking to come back for another stay in the future.

5 star accommodation
Wow, what an amazing complex. Private, quiet, luxury. The individual houses are very well designed with 2 master suites at opposite ends, each with a freestanding bath. The other 2 bedrooms catered for kids in 4 bunks and either olders kids in 2 king singles (or a couple who can pysh the beds together). We also had a plunge pool, gas fi re place, full kitchen and air conditioning. The resort lap pool, spa, steam and gym were also better than expected. Great location on the beach with a running/cycling path that winds its way along the sand dunes to town. Hire a bike to make the 7km trip a breeze. I happily recommend this place to families and couples.

Great location
Perfect location to the wine region of Margaret River plus the beach is "out the back". A very clean and spacious apartment for 7 Adults to more freely without feeling on top of each other. We spent 5 nights over Easter which was perfect for our family get together.
