Lovely view it over looks the pool and beach. It has a shower bath which was not very fun for a person with disabilities, and a toilet that was really low like it was out of a daycare

This property was older than it looked in the photos and the bedding was a blanket not a doona cover as pictured in some of the pictures. The location was exceptional with a view onto the beach from our balcony so we could see sunrise. The apartment was spacious and had washer dryer facilities but again was on the older side. The garage parking also wasn't super convenient. But the location and veil were really key selling points!
