"Stay on the water"

8.0

Location and facilities inside the house were great. We loved being right on the water and swinging in the pod while enjoying the activities across the water and easy access to walks and the basin.

"Another day in paradise"

9.0

Great views, warm, cozy, clean, safe, and secure. What a unique spot. I'm glad we booked on a sunny day so we could enjoy all the action happening around us. Kayaks would be a great asset for a spot like this, being able to go out on the water at high tide to go for a ride or get my early morning coffee from the coffee shop, would have been a really cool experience 😎 by the way guys, for those who are up past 10pm with no shops open and you forgot snacks, there is a 24/7 shop open on Bank Street called Vendigo Store, which has snacks and drinks. It's paywave only.

It was a bit scary knowing I could drop my phone in the water every time I went or was outside 😅 that caused a lil anxiety lol

The location is great for walking around. The city is a short walk and there are walking tracks all around. Close to a fish and chipper (fast food) for an inexpensive meal with tasty food.. Comfortable accommodation with the ability to self cater. It has a nautical feel and nice sunsets.

It's hard to locate. Read the instructions carefully and you will be OK but I had to phone the owner who were happy to help. The parking didn't feel secure as it was on what seemed a busy thoroughfare of walkers, runners and the public. There were street camera in operation and we had no issues.
