Orchid at Temple Resort A Swim out Tropical Oasis

Summary:

Discover this tropical-contemporary escape, one of only a few family-friendly swim-out stays in Palm Cove. Dip straight into the lagoon from the patio, then enjoy alfresco meals by the pool. Each bedroom has its own ensuite, with a full kitchen and air conditioning for added comfort. Enjoy three shared resort pools, an on-site restaurant, day spa and fully equipped gym. Direct beach access brings the sand even closer, with Palm Cove’s cafés, restaurants and shops just a five-minute stroll away.



The Space:

Apartment 102 brings everyday comfort to the swim-out experience, with an open-plan lounge offering comfortable seating, a flat-screen TV and air conditioning, alongside a well-equipped kitchen with a refrigerator, oven, stove, dishwasher and coffee machine. Gather around the dining table indoors, or take meals to the covered patio, where an outdoor dining setting, wicker lounge chairs and a day lounge invite coffee in the tropical air or time with a book. Sun loungers sit at the water’s edge, with direct swim-out access to the shared lagoon pool whenever a spontaneous dip calls.



The primary bedroom, with a king bed, TV, ceiling fan, and ample storage, is the perfect place to retreat after a day in the sun, whether winding down with a show or drifting off to an easy night's sleep. Its ensuite invites you to soak away the day in the deep bathtub, with two separate showers and two vanities making it easy for couples to get ready side by side. The second bedroom has a king bed, its own ensuite with a large vanity and two separate showers, and a balcony opening onto leafy garden views. A washing machine and dryer are available for your laundry needs.



Three swimming pools, including a grand lagoon, a lap pool, and a kids' pool, wrap around the resort, inviting you to completely switch off and dive into holiday mode. The resort also includes a shared restaurant with indoor and alfresco dining, a day spa, and a fully equipped gym. And when the day winds down, take a stroll to the beach and catch the sunset, with direct beach access straight from the resort.



A cot can be provided upon request for families travelling with little ones.

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.

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.
