Great location and price. That’s about it

Very cheap for the size and location. The LHS of the king bed is sunken and collapsed. The couches are rock hard and extremely uncomfortable. There was only one bowl which wasn’t adequate given it’s a two bedroom apartment. Freezing cold and only one thin blanket on each bed plus one additional blanket per person.

This satisfied our purpose of purely a bed after going to the football but we are grateful we only needed that. The front door to the complex was constantly ajar leaving no security. The doors to the rooms were grotty. Inside was basic but our internal door had swear words written on it. The room was cold, ran down (parts of bathroom new) and the curtains were not actual curtains - I can’t even describe them. I was worried we were going to be broken into - I wouldn’t stay here again. I guess you get what you pay for in this example.

Basic but spacious and convenient

Basic but catered to our needs, great location for the footy which was the purpose of our trip. Only real negative was not enough cutlery in drawer, only two forks, and 3 spoons, we had booked for 4. However quick 5min drive to Kmart and $5 spent and we had a full set of our own cutlery.

great place to stay for the (discounted) price. kitchen is equipped with the bare essentials but dishwasher is a big plus. water pressure is a bit extreme but the water gets hot fast. bedsheets were clean although pillows were not all covered and were stained underneath (not a big deal as pillowcases were clean). beds were comfortable and long enough for a fairly tall person. our toilet door did not fully close but the bathroom door did. the structure of the apartment is a little odd in that you have to go through the second bedroom to get to the bathroom which could cause disturbance at night if you are a light sleeper. all in all it was great for our needs as a group of young friends on holiday, would definitely stay again!

Honestly cannot believe the couches. To the owners / managers please buy some couches that are comfortable. It feels no better than a park bench. Last time I said never again and stupidly fell for the cheap price. They are cheap but be prepared for the incredibly nasty and dirty side. Don’t consider cooking there unless you bring your own frypan Not responding to my messages on the Expedia platform meant I couldn’t cancel without losing my money.
