We usually stay here for the convenience of being close to family, but unfortunately our last three visits have been disappointing. The rooms have not been cleaned thoroughly, and the showers consistently show visible mould. Overall, the standard of cleanliness has been poor.

Pros: Quiet location, lovely outlook to bushland, parking undercover. Bayside Grill and Bar good (as usual). We stay at this resort regularly. Cons: A disappointing stay this time as the apartment (2602) needs proper maintenance to bring it up to an acceptable level for the price charged. The apartment looks a lot better in the pictures than actually in reality Apartment is not as clean as it should be! Bedhead (and top end of mattress near it) on left side of the bed needs a good clean to remove stains. More than a single small towel rack is needed in the bathroom (for 2 towels). Mould in the bathroom. Venetian blind in bedroom badly damaged (needs replacing). Drapes difficult to draw closed in both rooms. Lounge room screen door to balcony damaged - cannot be closed properly. Remote controls for both TVs don’t work unless you stand right up close to the TV. Double power point (with ‘old’ lamp plugged in) in lounge area doesn’t work. Tested both outlets and lamp works in kitchen power points ok. Not enough power points in any room and no usb charging power points at all. Not recommended this time.

The unit was pleasant , however the bath / shower combination was not suitable for older people . Breakfast was good but there was a 5 minute walk from our unit and it was not all under cover . Undercover parking was limited and you had to park early to get a spot . I don’t think we would stay there again .
