Cleanliness, location, staff, price.
Tony and Rue are amaizing host. Great location, nice and clean room.
Awesome location and staff. Very clean and comfortable. Would recommend.
Tony and Ru were very accommodating of our arrival time from the Picton ferry terminal as we were going to arrive after checkin closed. The rooms were comfortable and clean, the bathroom and kitchenette had been recently upgraded. Rooms were spacious and quiet. Great easy location to get into and out of.

It was clean and comfortable. Owners went out of there way to ensure you felt welcome and were comfortable during your stay
Bad
DO NOT STAY HERE. The owners are awful, offensive people. The man asked me a very perverted and disgusting question and then his wife backed him up. I cant imagine how many other guests he has accosted. I literally have never met such awful people in my entire life. Most children have better manners. I hope they learn to treat people with respect but at their big, old age... I highly doubt they will.
Tony was a great communicator. Very clean & tidy and in great location.
A good comfortable night's rest. Straight across the road from fast food outlets. Short walk up to the beach. Just off the main road. Onsite swimming pool.
The 1 bedroom apartment was the perfect base for our 6 nights stay. Spacious, clean and convenient with a car park and a pool. Comfy beds, we slept like babies!
Very clean and well kept
No air conditioning and fan didn’t cool room done much.
Tony the owner and the cleaners were friendly, polite and helpful
An information booklet on how to use the tv, sights close by, etc.
Great staff, good location, spotlessly clean, at this price point it’s a winner
2 bedside lights, no power points for them to be plugged in to
Bed was very comfortable.
No heat pump or air-conditioning in unit. It was a very warm night and we could not adequately ventilate the unit. Despite the bed being very comfortable, the heat meant I had great difficulty sleeping.
Tony was exceptional. Amazing service and so helpful. We booked a room at the apex and one at the sands, Tony manages both. Would recommend both
Very clean room. Comfortable bed. Decent shower. Good location for bars, restaurants etc. Very pleasant, helpful owner.
There was no heat pump/aircon in our room, so it was a bit warm.
Room was well presented, spotlessly clean, great location and staff welcoming and helpful. Great value for money.
Nothing was a problem.
