A Recommended Place to Stay
Pros:

The three bedroom apartment was beautifully decorated, a good size and clean. Breakfast on the balcony every morning overlooking Moreton Bay was amazing and depending on the tides, the beach directly opposite the apartment was great for fishing. Beds were comfortable and linens were good quality, bathrooms were modern and water pressure was excellent in the shower, the kitchen had everything needed for cooking, combined lounge and dining was very good with free Netflix on the TV, there was free wifi and block out curtains were excellent as the western sun in the late afternoons was pretty glary & hot. Check-in was so easy and the lovely receptionist was very informative about the property and the area. There was secure undercover parking as well. The location was pretty close to attractions and overall, On the Bay is a fantastic place to stay.

Cons:

Althought the bathrooms are modern enough, they were a little tired and in need of an update. As Welsby Parade is the main drag, it can be a little noisey during the day, but absolutely didn't disturb you in the evenings for sleeping.

Pros:

The location was good and the size of the unit was amazing.

Cons:

The smoke alarms going off at 5.30am on our last morning and not being turned off until 8am...only going off in our unit. It wasted our last morning as we ended up leaving early.

Beautiful family stay by the ocean
Pros:

Beautiful view close to everything loved that it is only a 400m walk to the IGA and BBQ’s right across the street.

Cons:

Slat blinds in the main bedroom to the Lounge room was a little strange and not very good with two children, didn’t give us much privacy also blockout blinds in the bedroom would be nice very bright at 5:30am and hard to sleep. Otherwise the property was beautiful and we enjoyed our stay Thankyou
