Ok
Pros:

A beautiful location. However, run down unit in need of repair eg shutters to windows not able to use, Remote to garage door not working, dryer didnt work, quite dirty, cob webs, insects, dust, glass to oven, microwave, cooktop marked not buffed clean, broken outdoor seating.
In need of good tidy,clean and repairs or replacements.
Garage very difficult to access in and out. Found reversing best but over all, would not stay again for premium price charged.

Cons:

Wifi password was difficult to find until Asked reception. Was in a jumbled cupboard

Overall experience was great!!
Pros:

The property was lovely, the apartment was lovely, my son was disappointed that was no ac's in the bedrooms but I didn't think it was so bad. The staff were lovely and helpful.

Cons:

Lost points because a couple of appliances didn't (staff did replace them asap) and I found old chocolate wrappers behind a bedside table when I dropped a pen.

Great spot. Tired furnishings but clean and accessible.
Pros:

Great location and accessible

Cons:

Tired and dated furnishings
A lot to pay per night when only for 2 people (sleeps 4) but we accepted this based on being only advertised accessible accomodation on Bribie
