A very disappointing experience for the money paid
The property felt very tired and was not at all clean with multiple examples, including a balcony, table, chairs and barbecue that had not been cleaned at all after previous use. There was dust and grime generally throughout the property. Two toilet cleaners extremely dirty with poo. Parking was an issue with other guests using our nominated parking spots. The property is in a good location and was within walking distance of the main street. It has excellent views, but could not make up for the condition of the property.

Lack of communication skills.
1 No address given where we were staying on reservation confirmation. 2 Not told where to collect key until we phoned you. 3. Couldn't get up to apartment because we weren't informed to press PH thinking this was for phone. 4 No information given about having to take our own sheets and towels. After we returned home on the Friday we saw you had sent us an Email giving some information at 3:15PM after we had already arrived in Victor Harbour. Our whole holiday was completely spoiled certainly not relaxing. I will not be recommending this apartment to anyone in fact have already spoken to a fair few people who find this appalling about lack of important information. We have stayed in many apartments in Aust. and overseas NEVER having to supply own linen. The couch needs to be replaced as well. Really we are most upset about the whole horrible experience. The building is looking quite tired and needs an upgrade. We feel it was just a waste of money. Motels supply linen. We were so lucky John from the Appollon Motel where we collected the key helped us out he was fantastic at least he told us where we were staying after a few phone calls. We couldn't wait to come back home!

Victor Harbour Road Trip
All was exactly as described on the web site. Clean and roomy.
The couch and dining chairs uncomfortable though and definitely seen better days. Not too bad for 2nights. View of the ocean etc was nice, the busy road was noisy.
