Good place if you like soft beds.
Pros:

Good location, picture reflects the room and property. Great staff.

The Observatory A Great Choice
Pros:

From the moment we arrived Racquel made us feel welcome. The apartment was beautiful - facilities clean, well appointed and bed super cosy. Location is excellent. Train station is down the street, if you want to explore. Theatre, eateries, jetty in walking distance and Park Beach Shopping Plaza a short drive.

Cons:

Couldn't fault anything
