The property provides a very well-laid-out, self-contained room over two levels, neat, with lots of cutlery, well-maintained, serviced daily. Water bottles provided, adequate milk, good food in the Bistro and only a short walk to the CBD and foreshore activities. Although located adjacent to Dan Murphy's and the Bistro carpark, noise was not an issue. The pool was a bonus.

Clean, very convenient location. Next door to a Dan Murphy's, pub and 7/11. Two storey layout is a bit inconvenient as had to go upstairs for main bedroom and bathroom, not a big deal for most but would be problematic if have any mobility issues. Some of the furniture was a bit old, and the dining table legs were crooked.

A good location for easy walking to shops and foreshore. The apartment was spacious (except for the bathroom, which is tiny) with a nice kitchen and sitting area, with a sofa and table with chairs. Upstairs, the bedroom also spacious and the bed very comfortable. Our balcony overlooked a carpark, but we did not have any issues with noise.

I enjoyed my stay here - really clean, super comfy king bed and everything you could need however it is in a noisy spot on a busy corner with a 24 hour petrol station over the road and so that would dissuade me from staying there again, but that is the only reason. If you want a good, central location and can wear earplugs or are a heavy sleeper then highly recommended.
