Very Good
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travelers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
Ideal location, friendly honest helpful staff, great facilities. Unfortunately we had accidentally damaged an ottoman and they were willing to charge us the sale price for it’s replacement and fuel to collect it instead of keeping a larger amount from the deposit. We will be back.

I really enjoyed the location, it was quiet and close to everything that mattered to me. I was able to go for a beach walk in the morning before my conference started.

Liked: Amenities
Accomodation was good, slightly dated and could do with a tidy up but great location. Easy check in and out. However booked a one bedroom apartment with pull out bed in the lounge. When we requested sheets for the pull out we were told it would be an extra $44 AUD per night! We booked and paid for an apartment with two beds expecting to be able to use the two beds! There was no mention of additional charges if you wished to use the pull out bed and $44 AUD per night for just an extra set of sheets is extortion.
