Property info

Our elevated position affords fantastic views of the ocean and along Main Beach from our Premium Ocean Front Apartments, Penthouses and our Luxury Ocean Front Apartments all the way to the Gold Coast. It is the ideal place to witness the majesty of the the annual Humpback Whale Migration from early June to November. We are fortunate to share our grounds with the resident local kangaroos and curlews whose antics can be seen most afternoons and early evenings, and is a special treat for all our guests.

Neighborhood info

Whale Watch Resort is perfectly positioned in Point Lookout to see all the wonderful attractions so close. We are 350m from Main Beach and North Gorge Board Walk which is a must do. The board walk is perfect for viewing the Humpback Whales on their annual migration North and also on their return South, and for seeing dolphins, turtles and manta rays. We are 5 minute walk to cafes, restaurants, local specialty shops and grocery stores.
