Good location and price
Pros:

Good location and well priced. I liked the fact the dining table could sit 8 people and the bbq an outdoor setting on the balcony was very good. Nice large kitchen suitable for food preparation and cooking.

Cons:

The third bedroom was very small with no windows so we didn't use it. The furniture was very old and outdated and the lounge which I assume was a sofa bed was very uncomfortable to sit on.

Comfy, clean and nothing missing
Pros:

Loved that there were only eight units, so it was quiet. Also, it's back from the main road so no traffic noise. The units are immaculately clean (and I am very fussy) and I really couldn't find anything that it didn't have. The kitchen was well stocked in cooking implements and coffee making options (teapot, plunger, espresso machine). The big bath was much appreciated after working hard all day. Really nice pool area and the BBQ station was very well organised and clean. Keep up the good work.

Cons:

Everything was excellent

Perfect Beach
Pros:

Absolutely gorgeous apartment with everything we wanted there. We were travelling so the washing machine and dryer was a welcome bonus. We was late checking in and the keys were left for us safely. Owner mega helpful when we went to sign paperwork the next day in advising us if good places to go. Would highly recommend this place and would use again if we were ever coming back

Cons:

Nothing it was perfect
