We really appreciated the free upgrade to the spa suite with a gorgeous view of the harbour. It was within walking distance of the jetty and its activities as well as the coastal trail. The place was clean and quiet. Some of the fixtures were a bit worn but we understand that an upgrade is coming in 2025. We would definitely stay here again.

I loved how simplistic this place was. If we had more time, we would have spent a longer time here. Excellent front desk staff, parking was super easy, and the condo itself was clean. Super easy to walk over to the grocery store, bakery, or pub. Enjoyed!

Staff manager is very nice and big smile to greet you.
The property is very good, the only negative is no elevator, can be a bit of a haul if you have much luggage.

Great location, plenty of hospitality only walking distance away and only a couple minute's to jetty beach and breakwall. The minimum of disturbance is the country link which rolls in every couple hours. But never really noticed it to much.

The property was excellent and the staff were always helpful and always approachable, the units were close to everything, we could see and hear the beach, it was close to the shops, close to public transport. We had our own on-site parking spot and everything inside the apartment to help us cook ourselves and more. We were VERY happy with this apartment and all the inclusions.
