Was a rigmarole to get a room when finally got keys to room it wasn’t even cleaned from previous guests. Had to call John he got us another room which wasn’t what we asked for no spa bath etc. no soap in shower and no flannels. Tv in bedroom was damaged remote didn’t work curtains were a shambles no privacy in the lounge with blinds. The car parking was ridiculous all round worst experience ever will not be returning or recommending to anyone.

Car parking was terrible, it was so tight to get to the assigned park. Room is very dated. Shutters falling off hinges. So couldn’t block out light or rooms next door looking in No window in 2nd bedroom. No dining table Can only see obstructed water view from the balcony and bedroom window, not living room Shower over spa, not suitable for older guests as spa is very deep Construction site in front of balcony, had to have to door shut to minimise noise Great location

It’s a bigger apartment, but it needs some work. Tap was leaking benches have cracks in them. The bathtub needs some attention. It wasn’t left overly clean but I think that’s more the age of everything than the cleanliness.

Apartment not as described No Bay view it was a park view if you lent over the balcony you could glimpse water through the trees just A very tired unit that needs updating Bathroom bench top completely cracked and not safe Check in was supposed to be three pm and we didn’t get in until after 5 as cleaners were working hard to get everything done Not worth paying extra for this unit like we did So many better places to stay at the waterfront at a better rate We were both very disappointed

Property is in a great location and is well appointed. If I were to say a negative, that would be the shower / spa bath didn’t drain as fast as the shower , leaving a pool of water which eventually subsided and the leak around the taped shower frame which I hadn’t noticed until it contacted my dry clothes

Great position, secure. No traffic noise. Shower over a deep spa bath could be a problem getting in and out for older person. Needs a bit of maintenance on shutters, doors. I like a room you can black out and that was a problem. A humming noise through the room I had.

Fantastic location, but the property is a bit tired; one of the blinds in the living room was broken, so at street level people could see in. However for us the main letdown was the room situation. You pay for beds, not rooms, and we were a bit confused when we got a message about extra bedding costs (even though we booked via Expedia for our party). It was quickly resolved and the communication was excellent. For a short stay this property does the trick, but longer stays may disappoint.

Very poor communication. Stuck outside property with no way to get in. Rude lady on other end of phone. Finally find a mobile number rang that another 20 mins to accsess property. He was helpful. Then couldnt access private parking. Until late at night. Beds were comfy and clean. Bathroom spotless. Heating good. Very very noisy from being on main street.

Hot water is on some kind of weird timer and goes cold every 3 out 5 mins. You have t turn it off, wait 15 secs and start again.

Terrible curtains in the property especially in bedrooms. Main bedroom blind was broken and it allowed street light in through blinds and as well in other bedroom but not as bad. Living area didn’t have blackout blinds only day blinds and it allowed a lot of light come in early morning and at night
