Allround comfy and convenient
Pros:

Good location, far enough from town, good access with public transport

Cons:

Bedrooms upstairs were quite hot and no AC to cool them down. A coffee plunger would have been great and perhaps a sharp knife.
A chair in the bedroom to hang clothes on would have been a bonus.

Pros:

Wati is AMAZING to deal with. She was very helpful and we were grateful to have been dealing with her. I loved the fact that there was a washing machine and dryer in the room.

Cons:

Our room was a bit far from the pool (building #9) otherwise everything was great.

Fabulous stay in great location
Pros:

Fabulous apartment in great quiet location right next to Botany mall, perfect for shopping, groceries and restaurants, we loved everything about our stay there. Comfy beds and bathroom upstairs (shower cubicle is a bit on the small side); great living space with kitchen, dining, lounge and balcony on the first floor. A lot of stairs which didn’t bother us but you could ask for single level apartments too.
Off street parking in driveway.
Great pool for those hot days.
Very friendly and helpful property manager.

Cons:

Maybe better lighting in the laundry area, dryer didn’t work but that issue was addressed straight away.
Some deck chairs next to the pool would be fab too 😊

Great place, would recommend but kitchen really needs to be improved
Pros:

Location !!!!!!
Pool, gym and tennis court !!!

Cons:

The kitchen equipment. Very poor
Needs to be upgraded, please put a coffee maker like a plunger( instant coffee sachets are terrible) proper salt and pepper grinders( not little sachets), chopping board (not a glass one 👎)
I know it is hygienic but terrible to cut on.
It’s not a big investment ( !) but would make a great difference.
Key system : if people do different things and are not coming and going at the same time how do they get in and out or can use the facilities ????
