Great value, excellent accommodation, nice to have 1BR apartment to spread around in. 3 km from town, only annoyance is wifi was incredibly bad and the property is in something of a cellular “hole” so neither data connection worked very well. May be unique to our unit (103h but would be a problem if we were staying for more than a few nights or needed to work.

Liked: Staff & service
Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Unit 14 had water ingress damage that was unsatisfactory. The bathroom layout was poor with a pedestal basin unable to be used for face washing due to a glass shelf immediately above it. The mirror was not above the basin meaning any shaving was unsatisfactory dropping water on the floor. The water damage to the door frames was disgusting. The towel hook was so small it could barely hold a face flannel. I am happy to provide photo images if you request it from me.
