An enjoyable stay in a small apartment in a good location.
Pros:

The location was really nice in being right on the river where we could take the family for walks and runs. Being close to park run was really helpful too. It was good being close to a shopping centre were we could get groceries.

Cons:

I think the room could have been cleaner with a bit more stuff provided, such as a bit more dishwashing liquid. The queen bed being two singles pushed together was a little annoying. The Wifi didn't work for us, even though we tried hard on different devices, but it wasn't a big deal for us.

Pros:

All staff we came across were very friendly, Reception and Cleaners

Cons:

Couldn't find check-in instructions, drove to apartments then had to call to find out where Reception was (I was unaware the Reception serviced multiple buildings).
