"Luxe apartment in great location"

9.0

The property is beautiful, spacious and best location close to beach, shops, restaurants and botanical gardens gardens. On-site parking. Smells wonderful the moment you walk in the door ( lemongrass and jasmine scented candles). Beautifully furnished and quiet, luxe vibe

The bed was a little firm for me. I would have liked a mattress topper for a softer surface. Everything else was perfect

"Wonderful! Wish I had more than one night!"

10.0

Absolutely stunning apartment (Baytree). I could easily stay a week. So spacious and the separate sun room was the perfect spot for a cuppa. Good location for walking to nearby restaurants. Would happily visit again.
