Lovely stay for all of us from 14 yo - 87 yo. Will come back again.
Pros:

View was lovely, every morning was spectacular. Apartment was well designed for myself, my 87 yo mother and 2 teenage boys. There was a pool in the complex and we could walk to beaches, the Plaza, Woolworths and great restaurants.

Lovely family holiday.
Pros:

Great location. Friendly helpful staff. Very clean and tidy. Close to shops and restaurants. Easy walk to the beach. Ground floor unit was great for the grandchildren. Having our own spa was a great added bonus. Jetty was accessible for fishing. Great views.

Great location with beautiful water/ocean views. Close to shops & cafes.
Pros:

Loved the location! The water/ocean view from our apartment was phenomenal!

Cons:

The bed in the master was very uncomfortable (mattress too firm). It felt like we were sleeping on a concrete slab.

Fantastic Appartment with an amazing view.
Pros:

Amazing quiet property with a fantasy view out to the Pacific.

Lovely big layout, with everything you need.

The gym was sufficient to get a workout it, no dumbbells but with a bit of imagination could make it work.

Cons:

Absolutely nothing we didn’t like!
