There were no cloths or dishwashing liquid to clean up. There was a person staying two doors up who screamed and carried on the whole time I stayed. I was escaping domestic violence and this was a serious trigger to me. I also asked if there were adjoining rooms and although there was not, I was not aware that the outdoor areas had access to all people being able to walk up to my back door. This made me feel extremely unsafe. There were two slugs in the room and this is a safety risk to children. If they ingest these it can be fatal. The shower was tiny and uncomfortable and there was. Gap under the door large enough to hear footsteps of everyone walking past. I would not recommend this place to a single woman, especially one who needs safety assurances.

The room was clean and good value for what you pay. The pool was great needed abit of a clean but considering all the storms at this time maybe why it was not at its best. Eventhough the pool was still a beautiful time to spend your arvo in as it was nice and warm. The location of the place is amazing, everything is in walking distance. Highly recommend to stay here.

Liked: Staff & service
Staff were helpful but the noise from drunk patrons late at night was excessive. There is also a boat business directly behind the apartments so we got that noise and smell from them during the day. On a positive note It’s definitely well located for shopping and eating We have stayed at other Nightcaps and have been happy but this is one I would not recommend.
