The property was great. Only thing was my communication through Wotif email didn’t register and so we got a unit upstairs but I can’t walk stairs! Grateful they gave us another unit downstairs but was queened instead of king bed and still a couple of steps to get to our room. Obviously communication through Wotif doesn’t work. Same thing happened in Picton and now I called Westport straightaway who also had us on the first floor but kindly changed it to the accessible unit downstairs.

The apartment we stayed in for 3 nights was nice and spacious. Parking is convenient and good location. It also has a small pool which the kids have enjoyed. However, the window tracks are a bit dirty and would need a bit of cleaning.

Stayed on a family holiday, 2 adults 2 children. Room was a great size, clean and comfortable. We don’t normally dine in hotel restaurants as they are normally expensive and menus aren’t suitable for kids but the restaurant had something for everyone, the food was great and was very reasonably priced. The kids swam in the pool and had a great time. Would definitely recommend it was our second time staying was also close to the CBD and supermarket.

The only issue with this property was the internet in certain rooms. Our first room no.67 did it have any internet connection, so we were moved to no. 8 near the reception and it was fine. Both rooms were very nice, they just need to make sure internet is in all the rooms. However we would stay here again
