We could not fit the car into the carpark as there were beds and service items in the carpark. Do not stay in a ground floor apartment, the ceiling must be very thin as it was very noisy from the family with 3 or 4 kids staying above us.

The property is in a great location for attending the footy at GMHBA stadium. The owners were fantastic in upgrading us to a unit that had two bathrooms (there were 6 adults), however, they only made up bedding for 5, when our booking was for 6. We managed ok, but it was disappointing.

We were concerned with a few objects found under the bed, we had a small baby and were concerned for her safety, the bathroom door didn’t shut correctly and there were a few objects underneath the bed that were dangerous. Also didn’t like that the bed was a double and not a queen bed. Thought it was overpriced for the size of room and amenities The location was great and the room was modern
