Highly recommend
Pros:

We absolutely enjoyed our stay here and would highly recommend it to others. The apartment we stayed in had everything we needed for our family of 4. Great value for money. It was cozy, clean and very safe. Staff were really lovely and responded quickly to all my questions, even sorted out a blocked toilet while we were out. No complaints! Check in/ out was also easy. It was great and the bonus is, it's right next to the botany hub.

Cons:

It was a hassle taking all our luggage up 2 flights of stairs to get to the front door then another flight of stairs to get to the bedrooms. We would've preferred a ground apartment as we had a toddler but this was at NO FAULT of Castle Newhaven. I should've requested it earlier in the booking. Other than that, we loved it here and would still rebook.

Lots of industry about. Good for the person who has a car.
Pros:

Close to shops, grocery stores , fast foods , service stations.
Nice to have Washing and dishwasher powder for the machines for people to use.
Inside was well lit. Good blockout drapes.
Did not get the opportunity to use the balcony as the weather was wet

Cons:

Lacking toiletry shelving in the shower cubicle and on the vanity.
A little confusion re: washer, if it had drying options. Tried using the dryer function but the clothes remained wet. Used the clothing wrack to dry them. Also , despite having heaters for the rooms, sometimes one likes to have an extra blanket.
The couch was quite uncomfortable but I found the bed hard but good.
Also , had to search hard to find the A/C remote. It was hidden behind the drapes

a truly lovely apartment with plenty of space in a quiet location.
