Pros:

It was central to most things in Harvey Bay. The apartment was very clean and staff helpful

Cons:

Bed was quite uncomfortable. Infact could feel inner springs when lying down on bed. The lounge chairs were not built for comfort either. Plus the security gate was not locked at any one time.

Nice place to stay, just our room bed was not the best
Pros:

The apartment was so spacious & lovely furnishings..

Cons:

Spa bath was nice, but nothing to help you in and out, which made me to hurt my arm pulling myself.
The bed was so small in size and lost its spring and wasnt nice to sleep on.

Great location/ Amazing Staff BUT , To Noisy !
Pros:

The cleaning was EXCELLENT
Cleaners need a pay rise , this place was perfectly cleaned.
The kitchen was as the best set up I’ve ever seen in holiday accommodation!
Location was Amazing

Cons:

The location was right on the esplanade,
However it was so Noisy!!
Every car , every conversation was heard.
They need to double glaze the windows
We stayed 4 nights & had the worst 4 nights sleep we’ve ever had .
It was so noisy,
& the unit above us had permanent residents who loved to water the plants on the veranda,
All that water came directly down to us .
Made the beautiful veranda unusable.

It’s a great unit , great location
But unfortunately we won’t stay again because of the noise ..
I’ve stayed in many street frontages before, but nothing as loud as this one .
Unfortunately!!

Fantastic- would stay again.
Pros:

Clean, close to cafes and restaurants, across the road from the beach. Reception staff member was friendly and helpful- she was always smiling!

Cons:

Sea view was really just a tiny glimpse when on the balcony! 🤣
Luggage trolleys need to be stored elsewhere as they were blocking the fire escape route.
