- Not much space for long legs, when sitting on the toilet and impossible to reach the toilet paper!

Excellent location close to the beach.

We stayed in a one bedroom apartment. Recently renovated. Great location literally on the beach. No air-conditioning is the only problem.
So close to the beach
Smelt a bit musky, no aircon
It is in a great spot with beautiful water view's & the bed was really comfortable
We liked the way it was set out with a separate lounge room. Although it was old it was value for money.
Close to town and water, comfortable bed, tidy.
Bedroom window wouldn't shut properly, toilet ran quietly all the time. Couldn't lock the door screen, all a bit tired. Just fans, no aircon, 50 litre hot water system.
Lovely room, with ocean view. Not modern but cleverly designed for privacy and everything else. Quiet part of town. Staff were so welcoming and flexible to our wishes.definitely recommend.
Great value - nothing to report- it is not flash but was great place
The location was excellent
The screen door didn’t lock so I couldn’t get a breeze through at night so it was very hot . The pedestal fan was filthy and I had to clean it before I could use it. There was no spare toilet rolls which is unheard of.
Location was exceptional. Lovely and clean with great amenities.
We hope that air con may be installed in the future but appreciated the fans provided.
Excellent location. Exceptional view. Everything was new inside the apartment.
Air-conditioner unit in balcony was a bit uncomfortable as it blows hot air directly on to you. Had to switch off to sit on balcony.
The comfy room and view of the water from our verandah
No aircon !!!! Not enough lighting - when you closeThe curtain at night the room is dull and dark.
Great location, safe neighbourhood
On arrival, we were under the impression we booked the unit and not the motel. I found it quite unclear in the booking. The unit was also very hot with only fans in the unit. I feel as though an air conditioner is a must.
Everything was fantastic, the location, the view, the shower and general size of the room.
The bed was very uncomfortable and both my partner and I were sore enough to need painkillers in the morning to get us going.
Lovely place near the water.13minute walk on path by water around to Nelson BayVeiw was great.
Kicked toe on bottom of dine table chairs
Location, room and view were all fantastic
Nothing It’s old - smells bad No people to do housekeeping
Beds , toilets. Jes - she is very rude. She just came straight into our room without knocking the door
The location, room and privacy were really good
No information about what to do in the area and where to leave the keys on departure
The location and outlook is superb. Quiet and close to the village and beautiful beach. Staff were very helpful and professional.
The space around the bed was a little tight....
Great location. Didn't have any interaction staff - all was organised. Clean & comfy.
Not having a full length mirror.
