Spacious, clean, comfortable and good value compared to other local options.
Pros:

Great spacious room for the price. Nice, clean and modern ensuite. Staff were helpful and the communication prior to check in was great. Very good for the comparable price of other local accomodation.

Cons:

The fridge had a hum, which we communicated to the staff.

Pros:

Good location, near the Jetty
Plenty of space

Cons:

Self check-in hotel, but very unsafe! First stay we couldn’t get our room card with the code sent by the hotel, had to call staff to get a spare card. Second stay, someone else opened our room while we were resting using another spare card! Staff just said it was a mix-up, with no further apology or action. Rooms can’t be locked from the inside if someone has a key, and the self-service system clearly has many bugs. Not safe at all!

One-bedroom apartment is huge, plenty of space, but the bed is tiny! Honestly, way overpriced for what you get.

Rustic Charm
Pros:

Apartment 14 - separate lounge & kitchen, off-street parking, wrap-around verandah access, walking distance to pubs for dining (we didn’t bother using the equipped kitchen for our short stay), good security, elevator access available, luxury treats, pod coffee, bath salts for giant tub👏👏👏. Key safe system, swipe card access, security doors, lots of extra lounging spaces, and the historic building full of charm but very modern interiors.

Nice place for a stopover! I’d stay again if I come down this way again!
Pros:

It was sufficiently equipped, though I do think a bottle of olive oil would not have been out of place.

Cons:

A dishwasher would have been great.
