This was our second stay at Salt, last year in Apt 203 and this year in Apt 207 so at this stage I'll review both. Apt 203 was at the western end of the building and the view was basically across a public carpark with just glimpses of the water through the trees. We wanted to be in an apt which would give us a better view of the water which is what we hoping for when we rented the more expensive spa apartment. It turned out that 207 while definitely being closer to the water and having a much better layout had pretty much the same view as 203. All that being said, Salt is in a great location with plenty of places to eat right on the doorstep and is just a walk across the road to the beachfront. All the staff we spoke with were very pleasant and helpful. So to the layout of apartment 207 which included a very spacious balcony. to the amount of cupboard space in the bedroom. There was also plenty of cupboard space in the kitchen area. access to loads of apps on the TV to good internet access to the location of the building to Jolt Cafe on the ground floor ... great coffee & cakes to the staff to onsite parking ... but the 'security' door was open 24/7 to the onsite swimming pools to being close to the fabulous Yeppoon pool But to the bathroom in 207 where the shower over the spa bath was absolutely hopeless as there was no way of keeping all the water within the bath, thereby resulting in constant flooding of the bathroom floor. to the spa bath itself, the surround of which was just grotty with mould, cracks and discoloured grout. In our opinion, this bath should be removed and replaced with a walk-in shower. to the grubby carpets and the lounge that needed a good clean. to the living room air conditioner which leaked water through the cupboard beneath and onto the bench. We didn't need to use the air-con in the bedroom. the webbing on the outdoor chairs was in fairly poor condition with numerous holes to the clothes airer which had broken wires there were no instructions on how to use the ceramic cooktop to the layout of Apt 203 which had no door between the bedroom and bathroom & toilet, and very strangely also included the very spacious cupboards which should have had the doors on the bedroom side!! We'll probably try Salt once more next year now that we know that apartments 307 & 407 have walk-in showers and hopefully, being on higher levels, should have a better view over the trees to the water.

My husband and I had a wonderful stay. The lovely old-style motel has been very tastefully renovated and is presented beautifully and spotlessly. The location is great - within walking distance of restaurants, bars and the beach. And the management - Susan, and the staff are very helpful friendly and accommodating. It was great to have the kitchenette with a sink too. We stayed four nights and would certainly stay again.

Stayed at the Echelon for 5 nights in a two bedroom apartment overlooking the water. The apartment had everything that one would need. The aircon was cool, Foxtel helped out with the rainy days and the two bathrooms were brilliant. The area felt very spacious and the beds were very comfortable. The only negative, the carpet may need a clean. There are plenty of good restaurants located nearby and if you want to stay in, the kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need.

My husband and I spent five nights at Bayview Tower as part of a Travel at 60 tour. From the moment we were met off the Tilt Train at Rockhampton Station we were treated like royalty. Simon and Anne were the perfect hosts - friendly, efficient and nothing was too much trouble. Our apartment (807) was on the top floor and the view was breathtaking. The apartment was very well equipped, pristine clean and comfortable. The included meals which were part of our package were scrumptious - and all delivered with a smile by our gorgeous hostess Anne. In Bayview Tower's bus Simon drove us safely to our various destinations...with a great commentary. I could not recommend Bayview Tower highly enough for it's views, location, lovely apartments...but most of all because of our amazing hosts.

Nice place for short stay, decor is vibrant and facilities good with bbq and pool. Rooms very small, not much space for luggage. Friendly staff and very well looked after garden, the place is generally neat and tidy. Would definitely stay again if only for a night or two just based on room size being impractical for unpacking or self catering.
