Close to the beach-Yes Staff- pleasant Amenities/ house- needs a good refurb. Bathroom not very clean, bathroom sink dirty. Kitchen okay. WIFI okay but TV didn't work. It would be of great benefit to deep clean the apartment (we stayed in the 3 bedrooms). It would be cute and more comfortable if it was maintained better. We didn't get the apartment we got on our confirmation invoice. Although the staff members were kind, I wouldn't go back there.

We were moved on to Manly Waves sister property Lotus which was effectively an old apartment block 50 metres from where we booked and the employee expected us to know that. Room was significantly lacking and not what I had booked. If possible we would have left and stayed elsewhere. Had to ask for clean towels. Dirty towels where still sitting out front when we left. Mouldy shower and tiles were coated in soap scum. I had a shower with a cockroach too. The couch was stained and belonged in the tip.

The room was small but functional. The small kitchenette was well equipped and the balcony was nice to sit on in the evenings. The place definitely needs a lick of paint and we had some issues with cockroaches coming through gaps in the tiles, but it is Australia after all. The lady at reception was very friendly and helpful, providing us with new towels when asked and allowing us to store our luggage for a few hours when we checked out. Overall it does the job for a short stay at a low cost

This place should NOT be listed on Expedia. It is damp, dirty, and the staff won’t even get off the phone to check you in. They allow smoking, the courtyard is filthy. I found a few cockroaches and left two days early. The owner did not even ask why I was leaving.

Kitchen is dirty. No housekeeping service at all. Sand on the bed and no one cleans at alll. Really small and dark room. The jazzui spa fan door fell out as soon as we entered the bathroom. Poor facility in the room. Charge point not working. Location is very close to beach, good location. Friendly staff but low efficiency. Won’t even stay there again!

Great location and very handy for the purpose of my visit . Check in easy , staff friendly .My room was clean and the little balcony was great with a nice outlook . Parking was good Unfortunately the air conditioning was extremely noisy which made it unusable at night so the room became quite stuffy .I found some dirty plates and a take away food container in the microwave left from a previous guest .

Disliked: Amenities
Easy check-in and space was clean, just wasn't what we were expecting (definitely should've read reviews first), very small and old, stunk like cigarettes. The guy next door must've been the manager or something, because he was chatting with a mate on the phone at 6am (which was super rude at that time knowing guests were staying next door) about seeing us on the camera. Didn't feel comfortable staying the full time, and ended up staying somewhere else the next night.
