Drift Apartment
We have been travelling to Drift Apartments for past 12yrs. And we change it up with the rooms. This particular one Dan and Rachel Apartment was beautifully presented. Would stay again.

A perfect holiday
It was the Holiday where the Universe conspires to turn everything to our favor. The complex, the apartment, the proximity to everything, the amenities, and the weather were beyond our expectations. Gina, the property manager made our stay that much more enjoyable, nothing was too difficult and she constantly went out of her way to ensure we had everything that we needed. Thanks for everything James and Lee. We shall return!!

Great Holiday Location
Great luxury apartment in fantastic location, slight mis-print wrt checkin times expect this will be corrected. To be honest I'd stay again but would prefer to see AUD pricing throughout the transaction.

A beautiful, stylish unit in a perfect location
Really lovely, modern and stylish unit located centrally in a gorgeous resort. The apartment had everything we needed and was right on the main esplanade of Palm Cove.

Great location
The Good - great location, close to all that Palm Cove has to offer - plenty of sun loungers - shade & Sun near the pool to suit your preference - Pool area is very well maintained and clean. - Helpful Staff at Drift. - good sized apartment with plenty of utensils and storage. - Nice tropical feel to the pool area. What could be improved - apartment could do with some minor repairs and a fresh coat of paint. - the pool is quite cold - the apartment would benefit from a full kitchen (only has 2 stove tops and a microwave oven) - the main bedroom has space for a king sized bed. Overall we enjoyed our stay and the good far outweighed the bad.
