Pros:

Great location for what we had planned for the weekend. Close to the beach and facilities were exceptional. The room itself was tidy and clean , although it is looking a little bit tired in areas the main bedroom ensuite shower could do with some work.

Cons:

Was disappointed that we had to clean the little Webber BBQ on the balcony as it was filthy. This was also the same with the oven.

Absolutely never again!
Pros:

Location, pool, size of the room.

Cons:

The fans didn’t work properly and it was so hot it was uncomfortable. After 3 hours and numerous complaints they brought us a desk size fan for each room (one didn’t even rotate so was no good). By 2am we were dripping with sweat and had to move all the mattresses to the lounge room and try and cool down. Showers were filthy with hair all in the drains and we had to ask for a bin bag and chux to be able to wash our dishes. There were no staff to be seen from lunch time Friday for the remainder of the weekend.

View was great but need to tweak some basic housekeeping.
Pros:

Ocean view

Cons:

Didn’t have enough bath towels, no toilet paper in one of the toilets and the lights outside never went off so the light beamed into the bedrooms.

Below basic standards – forced to leave at night
Pros:

The view is the only asset of this property, a complete waste of money and time.

Cons:

Everything about this stay was extremely disappointing. It felt like the owners are only interested in taking money for the view, while completely neglecting the condition of the apartment.

The furniture and walls were damaged, and the apartment looked nothing like the photos advertised. The couch was filthy, had a strong unpleasant smell, and the cushions were visibly dirty and unhygienic. The kitchen was very poorly cleaned, and the carpet appeared as though it had never been cleaned.

The lack of hygiene was alarming. The apartment clearly had not undergone proper pest control and was infested with cockroaches, including both baby and adult ones found throughout the property.

Because of these conditions, we felt unsafe and uncomfortable staying there and had no choice but to leave at around 9:00 pm to urgently find alternative accommodation for the night. This caused significant inconvenience, stress, and disruption to our trip.

Overall, this property is far below basic cleanliness, hygiene, and accommodation standards.

I personally loved the well-kept gardens; they were truly impressive and added to the charm.
Pros:

The location is fantastic, right on the beachfront, making it a great place for morning and afternoon walks. It’s conveniently close to the airport, yet remarkably quiet—when all doors and windows are closed, you can’t hear the planes taking off at all. We stayed in a spacious three-bedroom apartment on the third floor, which was perfect for our needs.

The amenities are impressive, featuring a sauna, a pool, a jacuzzi, a tennis court, and a half-size basketball court that my son and husband thoroughly enjoyed and we enjoyed a barbecue one night, which was a nice addition to our stay

Just across the road, there’s a Chemist Warehouse along with a variety of shops, including a fish and chips shop, an Asian restaurant, Subway, a café, a Bottle Mart, a 7-Eleven, and a massage parlour, which makes it very convenient for grabbing essentials or enjoying a meal.
Joey was incredibly helpful. He allowed us to leave our luggage before and after check-in, making our wait for the room and our departure to the airport much more manageable.
It was an amazing stay for the whole family. I personally loved the well-kept gardens; they were truly impressive and added to the charm of the property.

Cons:

The dishwasher and exhaust fan were not working, but it wasn’t a big deal.

Enjoyable stay, wish we could stay for longer.
Pros:

Everything was wonderful at the apartment. The location is first class and the facilities are great. Staffs are very helpful, kind and polite and accommodate your wishes. Plenty of cafes and restaurant within walking distance. Even a chemist warehouse is just around the corner, which is so handy for unexpected health issues.

Very dirty unit and no management rk be seen!
Pros:

The location is great.

Cons:

The unit was dirty, there was a band aid with blood in the window sill, dead cockroach in a bedroom window sill. A lot of dust, live co k roaches in the kitchen. My wife was bitten by a spider while sitting on the couch and developed a staph infection. The dishwasher had a E code in it and was leaking water, we rang the mobile left a message and still haven’t heard from the management. Towels were left at the front door and were damp!
