Conveniently close to shopping and dining, our unit was quiet though unfortunately upstairs which was not so good for us as an older couple. In fairness i had not asked for ground floor when booking. The kitchen area was well equipped though stove quite old and frig freezer full of ice. The bed was very comfortable

Great location near waterway canals. TV in room needs updating to smart tv. TV was quite small. We stayed in upstairs unit but for those finding steps difficult should ask for ground floor. The bed was comfortable. Only a small bar fridge in our room. The freezer section was completely full of ice and fridge badly needed defrosting. Overall our 2 night stay was good. Nice swimming pool at location for those that stay in warmer months.

It's a great place to stay. The location is fantastic: near the mall, near the bus stop, near the beach. And the pool was really nice also, the beds were comfortable, we really enjoyed it. The only negative was the tiny cockroaches we found every day in our room.

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.
