The unit has a bungalow feel to it. Little kitchen so could cook. Short walking distance to several grocery stores and shopping mall which really helped. Close to bus route to take to the beach. A bit of a tropical feel around the area with the plants and flowers. I would stay there again.

No indication on website that building is 2 story with no lift. Am partially disabled so can't use stairs very well and wasn't aware until arrival. Get a text to collect key on arrival from a locked box at reception (4 pm in the arvo). Below our room were picnic tables where a group of 5 loud middle aged guys were drinking heavily and smoking, even though there is no smoking on the property apart from the designated area away from the buildings. We got hold of the caretaker to request a room change, who walked right by the group on his way to our room and never said anything. There were no other rooms available and were told by the caretaker about not being able to traverse the stairs he said - oh well, you will just have to stay up here for the night and not go out. Which we did and had to put up with the 5 boisterous and inebriated men who had the 2 rooms beside us. One of which came to our room at 9 the next morning still drunk and with a can in his hand, knocked on the door and when opened said to my partner - what did you say? My partner said, what do you want? Reply was - I thought you were talking to me. We packed our stuff and went to reception to say we were finding alternative accommodation. No apology no offer of assistance and they still charged for the extra night.

Lovely property on the water with a beautiful view. Our room was an adjoining one and we could hear the people staying in the next room through the adjoining door which was a little annoying. Room had been cleaned but had hair and cobwebs on the floor in the bedroom near the bedside table.

Booked & paid for 2 bedroom unit for 3 adults & 2 kids, was given a 1 bedroom & told first that I'd be given a full refund & find somewhere else. Was eventually given another single room away from other single room but we had to move the next day. Rooms were so dated and in disrepair - the door were tricky to lock & unlock hard to open. The towel rack fell off and the aircon control fell off during the night. The showers were mouldy along the edges from age & no toilet brush in toilet. The location was amazing though lakefront and right next door to shopping mall.

Make sure that you check prior the bedding configuration, our booking was for a deluxe suite should’ve been a sofa double bed and a double bed, I had to make do with sleeping on the couch which luckily was so comfortable but what if it had been 4 adults as the booking was supposed to be. Overnight onsite manager is unhelpful and arrogant,So beware if you need help after hours - lovely lady at the desk. All in all beautiful spot, quiet, and clean
