The accommodation is spacious and comfortable. Downstairs has a well-appointed living area as well as kitchenette, laundry alcove, toilet and garage. Upstairs has two bedrooms and a bathroom. A little more sparsely appointed, but the beds were comfortable and the bedrooms not at all cramped.
The location suited us well, close to parks, walkways, restaurants and cafes.
Very happy with our stay, would definitely stay here again.

It was nice having the whole property to ourselves. The price point was brilliant as well. The rooms were neat and tidy. The blinds may need a slight upgrade as it was quite light in some of the rooms from the lights surrounding the apartment. Close to an IGA and a few fast food places. The property was right next to a petrol station and a main road, which didn't bother us.Only a 20 min walk to a train station that was 2 stops into CBD. Would definitely stay again!!
