Fabulous Location

We were smiling the moment we walked in knowing we had chosen the right accommodation for our holiday. The only complaint would be the pillows on the bed were too hard, so we used the cushions from the lounge! If we were staying longer than 4 nights we would have purchased our own. Coles was a few minutes walk, Dan Murphy’s around the corner and bars and restaurants a plenty nearby. Great place to stay. Congratulations!

The apartment is ideal with a short walk to the beach, the jetty and shops and a lovely view of the Wigley Reserve outside the window. Couldnt be happier with the location and the ground floor apartment. The parking is very tight but you advised it would be, but again happy that the vehicle was off the street. Can get a little noisy on the weekends with noisy revellers outside the window and sirens but blinds etc were perfect and we felt safe. We requested additional linen during our stay and the promptness and efficiency of our request was unbelievable. We had an immediate email back from the property management and new linen within hours. We were blown away with the help that we received. Thank you so much. We had a wonderful time at the apartment and highly recommend.

Spacious, great balcony and views

This last-minute beachside “mini-break” was ideal and so much better than we expected, having literally enquired the night before. While we wanted a quick break and “change of air”, we needed to stay locally due to kids’ sports commitments. Molly was warm, welcoming and quick to respond. The accomodation was more spacious than we expected with a large bathroom and brilliant balcony. Access to the car, in a secure, underground space, was easy and we were lucky enough to be granted an additional space for a second car, set aside for hotel guests, due to a generous reception attendant. The property had plenty of hanging space, great kitchen facilities and a washing machine. We’d DEFINITELY stay again! A great perspective looking over Colley Reserve, with views of the beach also.
