Montapas accommodation from AU$62

Nice staff, beautiful river view.

It didn’t say anywhere that this apartment is part of an old age home. The pictures of the communal spaces for the property are for the use of the care home residents. All of the property facilities are clearly for elderly residents. The shower room is designed for wheelchair users. I’d understand if the property was advertised as being designed for disabled people, but it is just because it is part of a care home. They are clearly just renting out rooms they’ve been unable to sell to elderly residents. Most of the things in the room had been bought from Amazon Basics, so you have an idea of the level of investment and care going into the property. The apartment was filled with bugs crawling all over the walls and windows and we couldn’t wait to leave. Not exactly an apartment, and certainly somewhere you’d want to spend as little time as possible.

We had a terrible nights sleep due to a noisy motor in the ceiling right outside our room. The motor would cut in every 20 minutes and then run for about 20 minutes. I would have asked to change rooms but we arrived late evening and had to be up early again the next morning.
