Comfortable, spacious & good location for us.
Pros:

Size of the one bed suit, quirky layout of the low rise complex.

Cons:

Dated interior and minor maintenance issues. Ceiling fan didn’t work in living room, used aircon. Small patch of wall and skirting board in bedroom needing attention.

Pros:

The location.

Cons:

The fact that the accommodation doesn't own all the apartments and therefore don't have any authority over the entire vicinity.
We stayed on the ground floor and the tenants staying directly above us were drunk and being very rowdy, they were loud, shouting and swearing at one another and started fighting and this went on a few hours, we tried to contact reception but no one picked up. So, we then called the police, they sorted it and the people settled but still it was the worst experience ever staying there.

Very good accommodation - value for money, no fancy touches but for the price , perfect
Pros:

very good location, basic standard of accommodation with responsive staff when there was an issue.

Cons:

In the family room aircon was only in the separate bedroom so those sleeping in the main room got pretty warm

it was a lovely stay and would stay again
Pros:

Location was perfect, felt safe and the area was clean and tidy.

Room was good, comfortable,

Cons:

Kitchen could use some basic items like oil and sauces etc, an oven in our room have also been great for a family staying 5 nights.

but the beds were to firm and caused sore backs.

Overall excellent location, clean and comfortable accommodation.
Pros:

Was very convenient to have three bedrooms so team could share the same space. Kitchen facilities made travelling as a team very easy to accommodate.

Cons:

One guest continuously shouted at the girls when they were in the pool. As it was during day time, when the pool was open, this guest scared the girls and made them feel unsafe so they left the area, and remained worried about running into this guest again.
