    This was a great apartment. We loved the space and the cleanliness. The apartment had everything we needed. We loved having the washer and dryer. The staff was very nice and friendly. We highly recommend this place.

    From the penthouse, we had the top of the gas station that ruined our view, but that is nitpicking. Everything was great.

    10SUSANPosted on: 8-28-2025

    The location, view was amazing. Loved the Koala in the tree! Couldn't have asked for anything more from the accomodation except a bit later check out time! We are used to 11a.m. as checkout w/late checkout option of noon & woukd be willing to pay a bit more for that if it were an option?

    It was literally wonderful. Only wish we could've stayed longer!

    7BalrajPosted on: 4-26-2025

    Apartment was spacious and bedding was as nice.

    Heating arrangements in bedroom could be better

    8KristenPosted on: 4-19-2025

    Great location. Friendly staff and nice spacious apartment for families.

    Location

    It smelled strange, was quite outdated and also there was a leak in one of the presses that dripped onto the counter.

    6YashodhanPosted on: 4-8-2025

    Location is good . Apartment needs an upgrade . Some things in the apartment are really dated . Main washroom doesn’t even have an exhaust. Matress was really comfy . Sound insulation wasn’t good enough could hear our neighbours. Overall it was an average experience.

    10AnthonyPosted on: 3-29-2025

    Fantastic place, very comfortable.Walking distance to everything.The front door was a bit tricky.Very well accommodated.

    10KarenPosted on: 3-27-2025

    9PhilipPosted on: 3-23-2025

    Efficient check in at reception and helpful host took us to our room. Convenient on site parking. Friendly help and advice available at reception if you need it.

    View of the seaSpacious Living roomClose to bakery and CafésNice supportive people at the reception

    Some items are a bit aged and would benedit from maintenance (e.g. loose toilet paper holder) And there was a bird's nest right over our entrance door with the birds making the door step dirty. (Of course the birds shall not be chased away. But it was making entering the appartment with clean shoes an awareness challenge)

    8AndrewPosted on: 3-18-2025

    Good size room with balcony

    Sea view somewhat spoilt by the petrol station right in front of the property

    8CharlenePosted on: 3-5-2025

    Lovely apartment in an awesome spot across road from beach and near shops.

    10MichellePosted on: 3-4-2025

    View was fantastic and the room was exceptionally clean and comfortable. Staff were very friendly.

    That I had to leave

    8RobPosted on: 3-1-2025

    Great apartments , clean and tidy with great facilities

    We picked the apartments due to location and expecting sea view. Unfortunately as we had a ground floor apartment, the view was the car park.
