Thanks so much for all your advice girls! I'm starting to think it will be brilliant even if it is VERY different to our pre-DD holidays I've phoned a couple of resorts in Broome today and a couple have said you can request an apartment by the pool so then we can relax (with our monitor) while DD sleeps. I had already thought about that but that was good advice for others reading Trish!

I've actually found a great deal on a stunning pool villa at a new complex at Cable Beach. The private pool is fully fenced with security gate and all but do you guys think I'd stress more than relax? In saying that, I hardly take my eyes of DD so between DH and I, I'm sure we'd be fine. The gate to the pool would always be checked by one of us. The alfresco looks great too, good for DD to cruise around easily from inside to out. It's fully self contained which means we'd probably need to hire a car for at least one day to do a decent grocery shop for the 5 days but that's not a real drama.

JM - I love the idea of not cooking at all but I think I'll have to go self contained as that may be my winning card when I present the offer to DH tonight, LOL.

Hmmmm my plan is coming together...

Any more advice would be welcome!
