The beauty of the view and the relaxing furnishing and general appearance upstairs was wonderful. The managers of the property were quick to respond to a plumbing problem and we had no further problems. I miss it already and would be very happy to book this property again.

After a challenging 18 months in Melbourne we were really looking forward to a week away. On picking up the keys, we were advised the garage door remote was not functioning. It was unable to be fixed during our stay, and we relied on our tall 16 year-old to hold open the garage door.
We had a range of further issues with this property:
The TV reception was very poor due to a loose aerial cord at the socket, and not fixed during our stay.
The hot tub didn’t work (a major attraction for us). It was fixed half way through. It requires a quick, hard press of the button to function.
The exhaust fan in the first floor bathroom is very weak / ineffective.
The labels on the cooktop are almost worn away, and two of the plates appear only to function on highest heat.
There are nails protruding from the balcony.
There’s no WIFI.
Unfortunately these range of issues detracted from what could have been a great holiday rental. There’s a beautiful view from the north facing main living room. The beds are comfortable, with linen provided. It’s in a very good location, just a quick walk to the beach and shops – although as another reviewer has mentioned, in the master bedroom you get woken up very early most mornings by delivery trucks to the supermarket.
A few things that could improve this place even further:
an extra lounge chair in the main living space
more than one tea towel, dishwasher tablet, garbage bin bag
some decent kitchen knives
a hair dryer and toastie maker.
WIFI.
All in all, because of the issues it was not worth the price.
The check in process was very easy. The property was a very well maintained multistory apartment just off the main street, within easy walking distance of eateries and shops. Just over the road is the beautiful beach. Our car was housed safely in a lock up garage with a remote controlled roller door, and there was plenty of room (and privacy) for the kids.
Only a couple of negatives - as the property backs on to the the local supermarket, we were woken every morning by the delivery trucks. Not a big deal - we are country dwellers and not used to the noise of other people. It certainly wouldn't stop us from staying here again. The supermarket being so close was an absolute luxury! We also found it odd that we had to sweep and vaccuum prior to our leaving - with the price we were being charged we found that a little exorbitant, especially as we had to reclean parts of the apartment due to "sticky" surfaces on arrival.
I would absolutely recommend this property and would have no issues with staying here again.
