Apartment was good. Not one message I sent was responded to thoughRequest via message re double beds in both rooms but arrived to find 2 single beds in main bedroom with ensuite. Arrived to toilet running in main bathroom. It flushed but annoying noise all weekend. No response to email sent. Didn’t impact stay but annoying. Had to phone for apartment details (floor and apartment number) as didn’t receive that information. A shame as this was our second visit because flat and location great.

Great long weekend away
We loved our stay in Shoal Bay. The accommodation is in a convenient location and perfect for a family with 2 young kids. The apartment was very clean and had great views. The beds were a little uncomfortable and the wifi didn’t work. A little more detergent and dishwashing powder would have been good too. Overall very pleasant stay.
