Shoal Bay
The property was amazing, ideal location but the carpets needed a good clean, and the curtains were in need of laundering. I noted that apartment had recently been sold so think it needs a little makeover, like painting etc. Everything was there that we needed for baby, highchair, portable cot. We all really enjoyed our stay so thankyou.

Air Con , not functioning (it was hot and humid ), reported same but not actioned. No instructions re bin locations, etc not a big deal when we were dining out each meal. Hope to stay here again, sometime soon.
