- Alan (10/5): - The property was generally very good. One annoying aspect was the WiFi which would often drop out. I had to revert to using my phones hotspot, but was hampered by the poor Optus signal in side the apartment.

- Julienne (8/5): - So handy if feeding the dolphins early in the morning.
- Tony (10/5): - Across the road from the esplanade with walking/cycling paths and views of the water. Easy access to the Marina and the Restaurant, local cafe's, public swimming pool, parks, and the dolphin feeding activity.
- Vlado (10/5): - very good

- Micheal (10/5): - Place was very clean and spacious. Had everything you could possibly need. Pitty it wasnt warner to use the pool but fell asleep listening to the water fountain. Heating was very useful and large fridge is always a bonus. Felt like a second home. Only minor gripe if you can call it that. Softer pillows as an option is always a huge plus. Everyone needs to sleep, not everyone likes hard pillows but i still gave full marks on everything because it still deserved it. Price was excellent. The free dvds at the counter is a very thoughtful idea. Thank everyone involved.
- Melissa (10/5): - Great location and comfortable room. Friendly manager

- Susan (8/5): - Good spot for a stop before going to feed the dolphins. Quiet and great staff
- Martha (6/5): OK for a short break - The apartments contained the basics which all worked. The AC arrangements could be better by using a floor standing fan to direct cool air into the main bedroom as there is only one conditioner the living room.There was a hob in the kitchenette but no oven. The fridge was very goodas was the microwave. The kitchen was important as there are not many food places nearby esp. on Sundays.

- Verified traveler (4/5): - Dolphins are great...accomodation is old. Lumpy beds, dirty dishes, hairs on blankets
- Kim (10/5): - This is about our 5th or 6th visit to Dolphin Waters and they always greet us with a welcoming smile. The only reason we would stay anywhere else in Tin Can Bay would be if Dolphin Waters was fully booked. It has a relaxed atmosphere and is close enough to walk to the dolphin feeding in the mornings- another of my favorite things to do in Tin Can Bay
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Highly recommend
- BRETT (10/5): quiet and walking distance - Just a 1 night stay to feed the dolphins, Very quiet little town, Hotel was walking distance to local pub RSL
- Verified traveler (8/5): - The price was reasonable and the unit had a great view of the water.Some furniture and decor was worn. Bath washers weren't provided. There was a mirrir in the bathroom but the only other was behind the main bedroom door. This was inconvenient when 3 people were getting ready to go out.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Location was perfect and amenities great. Unit well supplied
- Verified traveler (8/5): - The breakfast nook was great overlooking the water. Didn't like the steepness of the stairs.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Comfortable stay with so much to do - The kitchenwares and tableware are clean and good conditions. Beds are comfortable. But the ac and dishwasher need to be upgraded to do their jobs properly. Check in and out are both easy by keys drop boxes. There is nothing can’t be complain about location at all. Waterfront and bikeways are just across the road. Dolphins feeding, supermarket and playgrounds all locate within 5 mins drive. We are happy about the stays overall
- Mr James (10/5): Highly recommended - Great stay and communication from the staff as I was arriving late. Room was comfortable and clean. Location is superb
- Maria (8/5): Very good - Its very nice view in front of the river and walking distance in dolphin feeding. For me it needs more gate for security of the kids because near to the road and the backyard near pool and bbq needs a gate coz any people can go inside and kids can go out.

- Verified traveler (10/5): - It was a beautiful peaceful place to stay. And the owners are so lovely.
- April (10/5): Comfortable for our family - We stayed here as a family of 3 with a 4 month old baby. It was comfortable for what we needed. The kitchen was sufficient, as was the bathroom. We brought our own cot for our baby. We booked a one bedroom/studio. Please note for parents: most of these are accessed up a flight of stairs. It was no issue for us but don’t expect a lift.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - The pool and bbq were spotless. The fridge in our unit was not great (old, broken) especially as we were staying more than a couple of nights and a several of the switches were wonky. Bed was comfy.

- Verified traveler (10/5): - The view of the water was great which you could see from inside and outside property. The pool area was clean and and the perfect temperature. All of the appliances were near new and clean. Most of all the hosts were fantastic. Like we have known them for years. Greg & Karen were very friendly and were there for us and all other guests from the minute we arrived. Love the place and will definitely go there again. Top marks to Greg & Karen.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Excellent service. What we saw online is what we got.
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Staff very friendly howver flyscreens were filthy. Fans made a lot of noise making it difficult to sleep and if turned off too hot to sleep as air conditioning unit too small for the apartment.
