Magnificent.
Pros:

Very beautiful place to stay on Lord Howe. Convenient location right next to the village centre where all the shops are, walking distance to both major beaches as well as to the northern hiking trails. And for getting further around, a bicycle rental is in walking distance too. The apartment was spotless clean, all equipment was working well, and the staff were extremely friendly and helpful.

Cons:

Nothing. All was good.

Absolute perfect balance of chill retro aussie holiday and up to date accome near Ned's Beach.
Pros:

Classic Aussie summer holiday cabin vibe. The owner Gaye would magically be there whenever we had a quesrtion or needed something but we also felt very left to our own fun. The little communal space was perfect for early morning yoga for us 3 and the drying areas for wet towels and dive/surf gear were perfect.

Comfortable stay in an excellent location
Pros:

It was very well located to everything and close to shops and restaurants, yet far enough away to be super quiet. It’s a short walk from Ned’s beach which has the best snorkelling. The apartment and property had everything we needed for a really comfortable stay. The manager couldn’t have been more helpful and friendly.

Cons:

WiFi was in one lounge area only, but only a 2 mins walk from our apartment. However it was really nice to have a break from it 24/7 so not a complaint at all, just something to consider.

Excellent accommodation, I’d stay again
Pros:

We were very happy here. The 1 bedroom apartment was big enough to provide two separate living areas, a kitchen/dining area and a deck with chairs. The kitchen was well equipped including request for an electric hot plate appliance and a pot, we had everything we desired to prepare food.

Cons:

The walls are a bit thin so it’s easy to hear other guests talking through the walls.
