Absolutely Beautiful!
Pros:

The Playford Apartments are absolutely beautiful!! So well appointed and so spacious! We stayed here on our way to the Eyre Peninsula and also on the way back. They are fully self contained and there is a laundry in h hotel if you need to use it. The rooms are very tastefully furnished and spotlessly clean. There are little extras in your room which makes your stay feel very special! There is a lift if you need it and the carpark is conveniently located at he back of the hotel. It was so comfortable it actually felt like home! The hotel is located in town so you are easily able to walk to cafes and shops. The staff are amazing and nothing is too much trouble and they go out of their way to make your stay as comfortable as possible! We will definitely stay here again next time we are in Whyalla! Thank you so much for making our stays so fantastic!!

A Hidden Surprise of Spacious Luxury
Pros:

The apartment is very spacious and tastefully furnished, providing a very relaxed ambiance. It is thoughtfully equipped with all that is needed for a short stay. Our room opened onto the very spacious wrap around verandah with seating provided. There is a lift and laundry that provides extra convenience. Playford Apartments are located within walking distance to local shops, cafes and pubs. I would happily stay at Playford Apartments again if visiting Whyalla

Quiet, spacious, clean and tastefully decorated apartment.

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.
