We stayed here for nearly 2 weeks with our 6month old. It was situated in the perfect area, almost on the great ocean Rd, short walking distances to the shops cafes restaurants and hospital. Managers were lovely. We had a perfect first holiday with our baby.

The didnt like's: Tight corner to access 'overflow parking', when there should not have been any overflow. This mostly caused by lack of signed allocation to appartment numbers. For those who enjoy fresh air IN the appartment 24/7 or less (myself included) this isnt the place for you. No fly-wire doors and NO fly-screens on windows...Needs to be addressed

Good views from top floor just above the gas station roof which is between the apartments and the beach. This property could be quite good just need some tlc. Good: location, parking, balcony, large table on balcony, good size table in main room, top floor does have view of the ocean Needs work: the apartment and linen didn’t smell fresh - not awful, just not fresh. Easy things to fix - yet weren’t: Mis-matched lightbulbs, bird droppings at entry not cleaned after several days Fridge not aligned and not closing Carpet in entry fraying and old, light bulb missing at stairs on entry, rusted room safe, dust above dryer. Lots of little things that could be easily fixed A thorough deep clean would help immensely. This property is not far from being very good.
