Exceptional staff, friendly greeting, anticipated we needed a shower chair and non slip mats for the shower without us a
Pros:

The location was excellent, great for morning walks, close to local grocery and bottle shop, easy drive to other amenities like the Bribie Bowls Club, Bribie RSl surf beach and op shops as well as the big shopping facility

Cons:

It was facing the water above a busy road so was unite noisy with traffic early morning and later evening. But it was super comfortable and there was aircon fans etc so you could keep the door to the huge balcony closed and enjoy the indoors.

Not kid friendly
Pros:

The location was great, the balcony and pool were great and secure parking was very convenient.

Cons:

Very expensive for whats on offer as it was a 2 bedroom appartment, nothing for the kids to do re: games, pencils or coloring books, not even plastic bowls plates or cups for the kids to use, and very limited utensils for cooking, no tongs.. It wouldn't take much to make it kid friendly. Only 1 aircon in the appartment, it definitelyneeds 2 as it was very hot in the master suite and only a double bed, eventhough the room would fit a king bed with room to spare.
