Kareka 5 Little Cove Road 17

Lovely view

There was 3 sets of internal stairs that was really inappropriate for children and when asked no baby safety gates could be supplied. Both the pools were really dirty and there was bat poo all over the verandah, so that could not be enjoyed. There was a lack of bath towels supplied.

The location for little cove was excellent , just on the other side of the road to the beach , no walking up or down the steep roads of the little cove area. The view from the balconies ware excellent looking through the trees to the water. The equipment and utensils for cooking/eating was pretty good and comprehensive. The living/balcony spaces were large

The sleeping arrangements for the apartment really comprise a superb master bedroom with walk in robes and very large bathroom with two showers on the top floor with two much smaller bedrooms with a shared bathroom/laundry on the bottom floor. In this regard it is well suited to a family of two adults and four children - not six adults. As such a number of issues could be improved. 1. the website says that one bedroom has 2 single beds and 2 extra large double beds when in fact it has just two single beds. 2. the single bedrooms are much smaller than they appear in the photos - suitable for children rather than adults 3. the second bathroom also includes the laundry which is problematic when 4 adults are in the two small bedrooms on the same level 4. the servicing of the apartment is lax- when we arrived there were no dishwashing or dishwasher detergents, no shampoos or conditioners as stated in the advertising material and in the apartment handbook. 5. the air conditioner didn't work properly, to be fair a technician arrived pretty quickly only to tell us that it needed a major overhaul of gas supply. 6. the lights in the kitchen were intermittent 7. one light switch continuously tripped all the lights in the kitchen dining area until we taped it over 8. the power switch in the bathroom was physically broken and presented a safety hazard close to the wash basin 9. the property information didn't state that the apartment was over three levels which was after three flights of steps up from the garage. 10. the swimming pool shown is much smaller than it appears poked in a shady corner at the end of the footpath from the road to the outside of the external door and as such available to all occupants of the building - a token dip pool at best - two adults and it is overcrowded
