Fabulous pet friendly apartment in top Kingston location.

We loved our stay at this home. We spent 5 nights In the apartment. It is perfectly located in the Kingston Foreshore precinct with Lake views and minutes to the cafes, restaurants and lake Burley Griffin. We travelled with our two toy cavoodles. The access and parking were very convenient. The apartment was well appointed. My 89 year old parents joined us for two nights and were comfortable and had easy lift access. We will return.

Great location

The property met our needs, was in a great location, but for the number of us and our comings and goings we really needed more than 1 access key / fob. Guests need to be able to specify and receive required number of keys. Overall though, had a great stay. Oh and ensure guests know to take their vehicle out of garage before leaving keys in apartment on departure.

We will definitely take this into consideration and work towards providing the option for guests to specify and receive the required number of keys.

Great property

Everything was great except the hopeless checkin... hope they have changed that. It took 48 hours to get it completed so that our car had a garage, there were no instructions about how to find the individual car park, it was even hard to find the pub where the keys were located, then they only gave us half the keys we needed. The apartment was great, well located, well supplied, clean etc

Great location but a few drawbacks

This apartment is in a great location. The apartment itself is comfortable, and has everything needed for a pleasant stay. BUT. Arrival instructions are terrible. Once you find the car space (which is conveniently just inside the garage door) and work out how to use the elevator (garage key is also security fob) and which floor to go to (4), you'll find that nice apartment. Ask a local if looking for the gym as you will never find it otherwise. But worth finding as it's a great setup. If arriving before March 2025 the pool and public areas are all off limits as they are being renovated. So sadly no swimming or BBQs. And expect construction noise all day. And if there is more than one of you then you will need to be really good at coordinating your movements because only one key will be provided.

Hi Leigh, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're pleased to hear you enjoyed the apartment's location, comfort, and amenities for a pleasant stay. It's also wonderful that you found the gym setup worthwhile after locating it. We sincerely apologise for the challenges you faced with the arrival instructions and limited access to facilities due to the ongoing renovations. Your comments regarding clearer guidance for finding the car space, elevator use, and gym location have been shared with our team to improve the experience for future guests. Regarding the key access, we understand the inconvenience this may have caused. For security reasons, only one key is provided, but we are exploring options to make this process smoother and more convenient for guests. Your feedback is important and we hope to have the opportunity to host you again in the future under improved circumstances. Kind regards, The MadeComfy Team
