Good value for money and a perfectly central base from which to explore the South West.
Pros:

Excellent location. Close enough to the jetty. Close to the Kmart shopping centre - Origins Markets was a great find.
The unit is compact yet sufficient space and facilities. The pool facing balcony was a nice little bonus. The bed was very comfortable and felt like luxury. Kitchenette is small but sufficient.

Cons:

Honestly. Nothing there to not like.

Pros:

Schönes großes Apartment über zwei Stockwerke mit Küche, Waschmaschine, Balkon.
Wir hatten zuerst ein Apartment direkt am Parkplatz, konnten aber freundlicherweise noch in ein Apartment am Pool wechseln. Empfehle unbedingt, ein Apartment am Pool zu buchen!

Cons:

Apartments am Parkplatz sind sehr hellhörig, es ist sehr laut. Die Leute laufen teilweise direkt vor den Fenstern vorbei und ständig fahren Autos hin und her. Auf dem Balkon wollten wir da auch nicht sitzen. Dafür ist der Preis recht hoch.
Zu wenig Platz, um Wäsche aufzuhängen.
Badezimmer sehr klein.
