Quick tips from our trip

From start to finish this resort has the feel of wearing your favourite clothes, it just feels right. Hard to define in words, but virtually everyone had the same sense of being at home in your own resort. Nice international mix of guests made the evening’s great fun in the large dining room. We laughed a lot! The food was exactly what we wanted, good, healthy portions for hungry outdoors people, beautifully prepared with an interesting menu. Thumbs up to the chef! We’d return to April Point in a heartbeat.
