Reviewer Comments:
Obviously you can't fault the location and it was perfect for our family. We normally camp but were concerned about weather so we wanted to be close to the caravan park where friends & family were staying and needed a ground floor location for our toddler. The real estate clearly rely on this unbeatable location with this apartment. It's incredibly dated and had a strong stale/smokey smell upon our arrival. It was stifling at first- we kept all windows and doors open for as long as possible but it was actually difficult to get to sleep the first night as the smell was off putting. The other issue was the 'second bedroom'. This didn't really cause us an issue but it was definitely advertised incorrectly. The second bedroom is just an alcove off the dining/kitchen area, meaning my husband and I had to go to bed at the same time as our kids. This was honestly ok for us, but if you are looking to hire for say, two couples or older/teenage kids, it would definitely be an issue as you would be tip-toeing around each other and whoever is staying in there would have zero privacy, there was also nowhere to store luggage in that space. All of that said, I'll reiterate that the location is unbeatable. We could swim straight into the creek from the nearby steps and my husband went fishing right outside the apartment. I just feel that it should be advertised more truthfully. The other apartments in the building looked a lot nicer like they had been more recently renovated, so I'd try for one of them next time!! Would I recommend this property to a friend? It truly depends on the friend! I have a few friends that would be horrified by the state of the place!! I have others who love crescent head and the creek who I would recommend it to.
