Orchid at Temple Resort: A Swim-out Tropical Oasis

Summary:

Wake up to the sounds of the ocean, and step out onto your sun deck from apartment 102, diving into the grand lagoon and swimming across to the bar for your morning espresso. In the heart of Palm Cove, you’ll be within an easy five-minute walk of all the best restaurants, cafes, and shops Palm Cove has to offer, and with direct beach access, it's the ideal getaway. You'll also have access to all the amenities of the resort including restaurant dining, a day spa, and a fully equipped gym.



The Space:

Escape the ordinary in the sophisticated, modern and airy two-bedroom apartment 102, complete with sun loungers and direct access to the shared clear blue saltwater pool. Three swimming pools (grand lagoon, lap pool & kids pool) wrap themselves around the resort, tempting you (on more than one occasion) to laze on a sun lounge chair, indulge in a drink and soak up the sweet tropical climate.



Inside, the modern-designed apartment makes the most of the tropical setting. The open plan living and dining area are perfect for entertaining, with the fully equipped kitchen with dishwasher, refrigerator, oven and stove will make mealtimes a breeze. The main bedroom is fitted with a spacious king bed while the second room comes with two plush singles, that can be combined into a full king upon request. If needed, a cot can be provided, too. There is an entertainment system and flat screen TV, so when you're not making the most of your sun beds and need a break from the heat, you can lounge around inside and enjoy air-conditioned comfort.



Be sure to make the most of the on-site features including a restaurant offering indoor and alfresco dining, relaxing day spa, and a fully equipped gym. When you’re done, take a stroll down to the beach and catch the sunset with direct beach access from the resort. The apartment also comes with a washing machine and dryer.



Guest Access:

During your stay, you and your group will have the entire apartment to yourselves, with access to resort facilities. Please make yourselves at home!



The Neighborhood:

It’s unlikely you’ll ever feel like getting up from your daybed - let alone leaving the resort. But if you do get itchy feet, here are a couple of pointers to set you off in the right direction. For your morning caffeine hit, The Beach Hut Cafe & Juice bar will be your first port of call. A six-minute walk from the apartment, here you’ll find everything you can want in a beach-side cafe: eggs on toast, acai bowls, juice, smoothies and freshly brewed lattes. For food, you’ll be spoilt for choice. Williams Esplanade is home to a multitude of fantastic restaurants. Vivo Palm Cove is conveniently located a five-minutes walk from the stay and a local favourite. Open from 12 pm, here you’ll find breakfast options as well as fresh seafood and whatever cocktail you can dream of.
