Reviews for Kellys Beach Resort
Review 1:The kitchen light switch. Seriously, it's hidden behind the fridge. I thought I was going crazy looking for it. The Sauna was locked. I was told by a staffer that it was working earlier but there is no info on the door saying to use the room key or contact someone to use it. This was twice we went to Kelly's and the sauna was unavailable. A summer Sauna is a good thing because it suddenly makes a hot day seem way cooler once you reset your internal thermostat in the sauna. One other thought, a "BIG" pot for boiling pasta would be good. The little pots just are not much fun for preparing pasta for a family of 5. Sofa was a little uncomfortable but it was very clean and in good shape.
Review 2:Kelly's is a great place. Proximity to the beach, close to Mon Repos, Bundy is a short drive away. The pool is in good shape and the grounds are well maintained. Surprisingly, the kitchen chef knife was really sharp. (which is great considering many places neglect small things like this)
Review 3:Pity cabins didn't have an oven so couldn't cook our own pizzas! although there was a cooktop and microwave. Just needed a bit of a spruce up, very dirty air-conditioner.. Terrible vertical blinds!- Staff did say they are getting replaced.
Review 4:Great grounds, good size cabins, lovely staff and a great restaurant. under cover car park a bonus! Kids loved the wildlife!!! Heaps of fun.
Review 5:It was 34 degrees outside and the aircon is set to go no less than 22. My thermometer read that inside with the aircon, it was 28 degrees. So won't be going back in Summer again. Also, the TV remote didn't work.
Review 6:The attic, self contained aspect, the pool, games room, restaurant and bar. Great friendly service. Parking under cover next to the cabin. Lots of beds if I had visitirs.
Review 7:Get told by three different staff members about price. Young redhead was surperb. One receptionist could not work out my change after three goes I had to tell her. And all the rest look like they are not fit for duty.
Review 8:Room had everything we needed, air con,good kitchen and utencils and BBQ close by. Very short walk to a great beach. Lovely surroundings,trees and gardens.
Review 9:Great for families. Cabins are getting bit old. Bit of wear and tear. Decent walk to the beach.
Review 10:Very quiet and peaceful. Beautiful grounds. Heated pool.
Review 11:Was cold period and air con unit noisy and not v effective. Sun did not reach deck. Long walk to other restaurants and shops.
Review 12:Found restaurant food of good value. BYO helped keep our costs down
Review 13:No railings, No lighting on steps or from parking, No railings into the bath/shower. Lounge was uncomfortable to sit on. Ladder up to loft was a hazard, unless you are a monkey.
Review 14:I enjoyed the garden
Review 15:It was a bit dated but then that's what relaxing holidays are sometimes all about .. being relaxed and not too fussed with all the fancy stuff.
Review 16:Felt like we were living in rainforest. Gardens beautiful, lovely grounds to walk around. Beautiful ponds, bird life .. even lizards basking in the sun. Lovely pool, restaurant, great bbq facilities and location was really handy to everything we needed.
Review 17:Need paper towelling to clean bbq as it was dirty when we went to use it and we cleaned it when we finished. The cabin smelt like pee.
Review 18:Budget, comfortable accomodation.
Review 19:Small discrepancy between Booking.com and Kelly's resort on pricing, but only need to ask and resolution was immediate. All was very positive.
Review 20:Great location, great surrounds, great privacy, great and accessible service and ability to resolve any issue. Loved the self contained and quiet units with green surroundings which support some small wildlife.
Review 21:The opening to the loft was open for young children to fall threw at Nite when the cabin is poorly lit engress was very steep and unsafe in my opinion the light fixtures were to close to sleeping quarters the lighting fixtures emitted a high emf wich effected myself and young child we both suffered nuisia and uneasy feeling up in loft
Review 22:Was a peaceful location
Review 23:Very hot up stairs, air conditioning needs to be stronger or something, the lounge was so old has NO springs just wood holding it up!! The toilet stunk like urine, the shower head is old n spits everywhere n no fan in the shower so it hot n very small!!
Review 24:Love how it has that massive pond, beautiful settings surroundings of the villas, the staff were very nice and quick to respond to any thug that needed to be done eg glob blown remote didn't work etc
Review 25:Nothing.
Review 26:Great place for us to stopover on our way north up the east coast. We would have been very happy to stay longer if time had allowed. Also enjoyed the profusion of butterflies!
Review 27:Cabins need a little TLC. Was a little worried with the loft sleeping arrangements for my youngish children.
Review 28:Great for my pre teen kids with many paths for exploring, pool, tennis etc. Lots of other kids to play with.
Review 29:Having to pay for tennis, not just a hire charge. Bbqs were not cleaned in morning, and nothing to clean them with anyway. Expensive stay with extras. Won't stay again.
Review 30:Loft area for children was good gimmick. Pool area was ok. Banana chairs in pool area were lovely.
Review 31:Maintenance of the Villa, such as broken ends off the toilet holder..sharp. Kitchen laminate needs replacing, Plate cupboard swollen would not close, main door blinds need repair to slide and the amount of dust on the blinds and the air con could not cope with the mid day heat/humidity. But I definitely would return otherwise!
Review 32:Nature inspired BBQ facilities, Tennis,spa, sauna and pool and our unique shaped villa with loft. And I absolutely loved the price.
Review 33:The GoldenCane palms needed the seed pods cut off - they were dropping seeds on the villa roof every night. The bed needs castor cups to stop it rolling about the room.

Review 49:We stayed for three nights.A well designed establishment offering quiet and private units. The grounds are well landscaped and close to the beach. Shopping/supermarket facilities are only a few minutes drive.
Review 50:The cabin would need a bit of work. My husband knows buildings and it is beginning to be a bit run down.The fire detector was detached from the ceiling. The gardens would need a bit more watering and maintenance. A bit pricey for one nights stay. But all in all, we did enjoy our stay and would recommend it to friends.
