The property is conveniently situated for Westfield shopping complex, the foreshore and restaurants. It was a 15 min walk to Costa Hall concert venue. The property is clean and there is a small cafe next door. The staff were very friendly and on site parking was convenient.

Only had one night. Wish we could have stayed longer. Walking distance to cafes and shops and a gorgeous view of eastern beach. Had a two bedroom apartment which was spotless and beds super comfortable. Bathrooms modern and very clean. Would definitely stay there again.
