We had an amazing stay here. We only booked online quite late and the reception was already closed. The communication between the host to give us access was amazing, all done within 10 minutes of us arriving. The room was fantastic, the view was beautiful. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook a lovely meal, we had been on the road for a couple of days so to be able to cook was fantastic. Loved it - Highly recommend.

We stayed in a park view apartment, but we did have some limited ocean views. After hours check in was super easy and the instructions were really clear. The apartment was really clean and a great size. It was easy walking distance to the Jetty and beach. Loved that they donate to a local charity through the 10c return and earn,

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.
