"Great weekend getaway and perfect location."

10.0

Great location. Loads of room in the apartment. The beach is quite close, but it's a hilly walk up and down.

The sea view was not the best from the ground floor. Be aware that the ground floor may be affected by noise from the apartment above.

"Incredible views and close to facilities."

8.0

Great view of ocean and beach. A lot of whale activity visible from the unit (seasonal) . Close walk to shops, cafes, nature walks and beach access. Easy access to the North Gorge board walk, which enables great viewing of the ocean creatures - whales, dolphins, turtles, stingray, fish. Lots of Kangaroos in the grassy area of the complex. Unit is well equipped and comfortable. Bed in main bedroom was comfortable. Dishwasher and washing machine were well useful. Two bathrooms ideal for 6 people.

There were renovations underway but we were not told about this until we checked in even though I spoke to the manager for another reason, before our visit. Nor was any discount or compensation offered for the noise during the day. There were early morning movements of materials but no power tools until later in the morning until dinner time. Garden beds being replanted so looked a bit bare. The apartment only had 5 dining chairs for 6 people, not a set of wine or champagne glasses for 6 people. The plug in the ensuite sink didn't work. The curtain in the main bedroom was mouldy. These things have been reported to management and they say they will be addressed. When paying a considerable amount, then the quality needs to match.
