Our stay with you was a perfect location clean big & bright we never used the pool but they looked
Pros:

It was a self catering apartment clean & tidy good to have a washing machine plus lovely to have a balcony to sit out on every morn & evening we would definitely stay again next time in Australia as good location near coffee shops bars & beaches lovely big apartment recommend highly !!

Cons:

Maybe a more comfortable bed and also perhaps a couple of bathroom cleaning products when staying longer than a wend would have been nice to help keep toilet & sink clean
I did buy a Air freshener tho & some more washing machine tabs Altho was v nice to have washing machine sachet & washing up liquid sachet to start the wk off plus had another one each midweek !

Pros:

The location was fantastic soo close to everything we needed.

Cons:

In our room, the bed not comfortable and the pillows too soft or rock hard. Freezer also couldn't be used as it needed to be defrosted. More bathroom items needed too, towels, soap, tissues.

Great relazing break from the tedium of everyday life.
Pros:

The location and vicinity to everything - and of course the view over the ocean.

Cons:

Being so close to the ocean spray the doors are constantly blurred but I realize that is unavoidable.

Fortunately the view superseded the negatives however not sure we will stay again.
Pros:

The view was absolutely stunning, we stayed in a beachfront ocean view apartment

Cons:

The floor hadn’t been cleaned before we arrived as there was sand everywhere and surfaces were dirty. 2 rolls of toilet paper to last 4 nights. The staff weren’t welcoming. The furniture was worn and tired. We were woken at 3am to evacuate the building, once everything was ok allowed back in however there was no communication from staff as to what happened and no apology for the inconvenience.
