Guest Reviews
- Kane (10/5): Warm and cosy with a beautiful view - Great spot with an even better view. It has absolutely everything you need for your stay in Canberra I can’t fault it
- Kathy (6/5): Great little unit. Great location but really needs some maintenance and updating for the price. - Fab location and great bed. Great view and very quiet 👍 Clean not great. Couldn’t go out on the balcony, very dirty. No full length mirror anywhere. No tissues provided. Maintenance needed, vanity sink needs to be looked at and toilet seat needs fixing. No one to report this to.
- Robert (8/5): Perfectly fine - Location was good. Spacious and lovely view looking east over the wharf. Bed was comfortable. Kitchen utensils good. No Smart TV which in this day and age is pretty average. Leather couch only marginally comfortable.
- Jon (8/5): - Location and facility... excellent views Nil
- Natalie (10/5): The perfect stay! - The apartment was beautiful, had everything we needed. The location was perfect, over looking the lake with the smell of all the restaurants below on the boardwalk. We will be back as it was amazing. Nothing.
- Jackie (10/5): Great location and comfortable apartment - Great sized apartment with everything I needed for my 3 night stay. The bed was comfortable, towels large, kitchen well resourced and the outlook was beautiful. A great selection of restaurants underneath and along the waterfront for breakfast, lunch and dinner if needed. There is a very busy pub/ bar underneath but the noise was fine on both Friday and Saturday nights. Nothing
- GARRY (8/5): -
- Alicia (9/5): Love sitting on the balcony in the morning talking in the sun and the view - Location Would have been nice to have a plunger for tea or coffee in the available cooking equipment
- Felicity (7/5): Fabulous location with lovely water views, close to good restaurants with the wonderful Lakeside Gurkhas downstairs and - Great location, lovely view Tiny piece of soap. Balcony and outside table hadn’t been cleaned. Found picking up key and getting into car park not easy as hadn’t read 3rd page of instructions. Would have preferred a king size bed. Also only 1 bed side table and reading lamp. No broom or dust pan. Kitchen tap made a screeching sound when turned on.
- Stephanie (9/5): Superb -
- Ian (8/5): Very good -
- Anne (10/5): Exceptional - Great location right on the waterfront with many good quality cafes and restaurants very close.
- Gary (5/5): Good location ! And that’s about it. - It needs new carpet and a paint job! Very dated. They could have better instructions on how to actually find the place you pick the keys up from. Good location . Needs a lot of updating as furniture is torn and old.
- Deirdre (9/5): Would definitely stay again. I bought one set of keys home, the staff member I spoke to was great. - Location and apartment were great Entry to the security apartment complex was challenging. We didn't realise there were 3 A4 pages of written instructions in the envelope with the keys.
It would be helpful if there were clear instructions to access the parking via number 25 (apartment was 31-35)
- Sarah (8/5): Location, Location, Location - The apartment was really comfortable and well located. The location is amazing, and quieter than I expected it to be given how close it is to local restaurants and bars. Nothing
- Tony (6/5): Always perfect location. Unit needs some maintenance - Location and convenience Not well maintained. Several items were worn or broken. Lacked a bedside table or drawers on one side
- Stephen (9/5): Superb -
- Clive (10/5): Very well situated. -
- Mark (8/5): Very good -
- Nikki (8/5): Great place - The views, cleanliness and location Bedroom tv not working
Chipped coffee cups
- Lonmin (9/5): Great Location - The location was perfect for our needs.
Enjoyed being able to walk to breakfast. Walking tracks along the foreshore.
Friday nights the bars below are quite busy. The noise did not make it to our room though.
- Lena (6/5): It was an enjoyable visit because of the location but the apartment was overpriced for what it was. - Location, view, ease of parking and garbage disposal. The hot water tap in the kitchen made a horrendous noise every time it was used and it took a long time to heat up. The fridge was noisy, all day and night. The appliances (toaster and kettle), crockery, pans etc all dirty, needed to be cleaned before use. The patio/balcony was uninviting as the plant boxes were untended and full of dead plants. Insufficient supply of soap in the bathroom. Also the carpet needed a good steam clean.
- Alicia (8/5): Great place for short stay near lots of restaurants and local attractions also great for just sitting on the balcony enj - Location view and brilliant balcony Bathroom layout was very inefficient water pressure in bathroom tap very poor
- Lorna (8/5): Very good - Great location nearby restaurants but well sound proofed apartment. Good secure parking. The check in process with picking up keys etc was in itself a bit of a procedure.
Would have liked a king size bed.
- Desmond (8/5): Very good -
- Collin (9/5): Superb -
- Andrea (10/5): Exceptional -
- Louise (10/5): Fabulous lake location - Location

Comfortably
Accessibility to restaurants and shops All positive
- C (8/5): Great stay - - Location is excellent Plumbing is odd - Kitchen taps knock and bathroom tap only a trickle.
- Shannon (10/5): Great place in fantastic location, with so many restaurants and bars nearby. - Great place, and great location
- David (9/5): Superb - Didn’t like being compelled to provide personal information about my partner after I had already paid. Would not have booked this property if I knew in advance the checkin requirements.
- Vanessa (9/5): Superb -
- Jason (9/5): Superb -
- Vicki (8/5): Great location - Great location, near good restaurants, cafes and bars. Well set out apartment for 2 people. Secure on-site parking. Quite, there was no noise from the dining venues at street level of the apartment block or any of the adjoining apartments. While the apartment wasn't dirty, it could do with a deep clean particularly the balcony.
I was not impressed that the property required a digital copy of my licence and credit card the day before check-in. I have never had to do this with any other accomodation before.
- Sarita (7/5): Good -
- Leigh (9/5): Overall was good but wasn’t cleaned properly before our stay - Was a great spot and nice and comfortable It was a little dirty was dust everywhere and was hair from previous guests in the bed

- Darryl (6/5): Our stay was good but because of the cleaning it put a dampening on the enjoyment. - Location The unit was only half cleaned, the inside had dirt on the carpet and the balcony appeared not to have been cleaned for a long period of time. This included the table and chairs we full of cobwebs as was the rest of the balcony.
- Robin (7/5): Great location and apartment Only negative off sight management No weekend service -
- Tanya (9/5): Superb - Great location. Spectacular view of the lake. Spacious apartment. Arrived to a full bin, quite dusty and carpet didn't look like it had been vacuumed..hand held vacuum supplied the main head didn't work. Machine stank! Needs a good clean. Wasn't filthy but lots missed.
Bed needs a new mattress. Big dip in middle. Kept rolling in. Shame as beautiful apartment.
