Great location, nice cafe downstairs, opposite town beach, walking distance into town. Our 2 bedroom apartment was set up with a full kitchen, lounge/dining room, bathroom, and bedroom, the other room had tea/coffee making, small fridge and bathroom. And 3 TV's. A balcony went across both apartments. Indoor pool, sauna and spa. We didnt use the BBQ facility.
