Huge rooms - very spacious. Would have liked a screen door on the bedroom. We don’t like sleeping with an aircon on and on a hot night would have been great to have the door open onto the lovely large balcony. Thanks for a great stay. We will return!

Wonderful location , clean comfortable rooms , great pub. The "penthouse" is a bit wasted with so much balcony space which could possibly be used better? Great stay.

Hi Ivan, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We are happy to see that you enjoyed your stay with us at Headlands Serviced Apartments. Please note that the beach near us is a dog friendly beach, however Austinmer Beach that is 5-10 minute walk from us is a patrolled beach that is not dog friendly beach. We will be more than happy to welcome you in the future!Kind regards, Headlands Reception

AMAZING views from the penthouse, probably only thing lacking was a bath or hot tub , for a large penthouse I’d expect more than one shower and bathroom. Otherwise great, will stay there again for sure.

The ground level street facing apartments are a bit dark and dull. Paid to upgrade to ocean view and the room/view was fantastic. Big warning to anyone thinking that adults or teenagers can sleep on the fold-out beds. They are shocking and big pain to the maintenance team I imagine. The frames are bent, the mattresses are shoddy.

The entry scanner to the underground carpark should have clearer instructions on how to swipe your card.
