Guest Reviews
- Ron (10/5): Went in winter so did not get to use pool but looked great . Also Gym and sauna on site - Great underground parking with lift to your floor. Great open foyer and plenty of room to move freely
- Judith Carole (10/5): Great stay in comfortable apartment, - Excellent facilities in room and in the apartment. Nothing
- Peter (10/5): Excellent unit. - Everything. Very nice unit. Highly recommend. Nothing to dislike
- Rick (8/5): -
- Gavin (10/5): Comfortable with everything you need. - The location was excellent.
Able to go for a walk everyday by the lake.
Facilities at the complex were great. The bed mattress needs to be changed as it has been used a lot and dips where you sleep.
- Millie (8/5): -
- Cam (8/5): Great place to stay for a short break. -
- Egon (8/5): -
- Patricia (10/5): our stay was very pleasant and comfortable - We love the close proximity to the lake and the walkway . The setting and view were lovely. everything was great. so, there wasnothing to dislike
- Erin (7/5): - Great location, well equipped, nice bathroom, comfortable bed I asked to see if I could get in early and was told I could get in early - for $60, which annoyed me. Any hotel will let you check in early if a room is ready. That’s all I was asking for. When we got there, the carpet in front of the laundry was soaking wet and did not dry during the whole time we were there. I left them a message to let them know and there was a very late response with no resolution.
- Jed (8/5): Was great to be able to chill out without noise ..There were a couple of things that need to be sorted and repaired, the - Quiet and access to hot pool Nothing
- Weihong (3/5): -
- Patricia (10/5): very enjoyable, close the lake front and walkway - every aspect of this apartment was enjoyable. The dish-drawer did not drain the water away until it had been run a second time on the rinse setting - I suggest this gets looked at soon. It is a shame the drawer above the dish-drawer is getting damaged by the steam .
- Thekrivas (10/5): Exceptional -
- Chris (10/5): Exceptional -
- Mayank (9/5): Superb -
- Kera (9/5): Was very cozy and warm. I highly recommend anyone finding somewhere to stay - I liked that everything was self-entry, and I felt very secure there. The bathrooms were very nice, and I appreciated that they came with a dishwasher, washing machine, and dryer. It made things very convenient. The coffee machine's steam wand didn't work very well. Other than that there was nothing to complain about
- Neil (8/5): A bit underwhelmed - Great position and everything that you needed and exactly as advertised. Toilet constantly run after flushing, didn’t want to go out into the balcony and the Venetian blinds were pulled down and didn’t want to try and raise them as it looked like it would fall down.
The main grievance was coming back to the apartment on the second day and finding a couple coming out of our apartment saying they had also booked the same dates.
Not cool considering my laptop , our passports and personal belongings were all on show.
- Elliott (9/5): We will definitely be back! - Awesome apartment and perfect for couples. The heated pool was spectacular!! The dishwasher needs some attention as it doesn’t drain.
- Patricia (10/5): Recommend this apartment for a couple to get away. Fully equipped kitchen, comfortable bed, and gated parking. - Comfortable bed, great shower, full kitchen. Building security Oven difficult to use
- Thomas (8/5): It was ok. Wouldn't stay again. - Unit was clean, well equipped (except no potholders and few plugs on LR walls). Too many codes (to get in garage, unit, pool, exercise room). Exercise room heat came on automatically (on a hot day) and you couldn't change it. Equipment in sad shape.
- Paul (9/5): Superb - Well equipped excellent property clean modern tidy Property is a little way from town but not so far that you can’t walk and doesn’t detract from what is very nice accommodation
- Zoe (10/5): Excellent - Location cleanliness All was good
- Nicola (10/5): Exceptional -
- Susan (10/5): Excellent break in beautiful setting. - Excellent facilities, clean and spacious Nothing
- Warren (8/5): Very good - Spacious, comfortable with great bed and shower. Sunset views of the lake are wonderful. Good access to lakefront for walks. The pass code to the apartment door is very long.
- Kerry (9/5): Superb - Spacious place. Nice and quiet location. Enjoyed the view and facilities. The self-service checkin/out process was easy to follow. The pictures online meet the accommodation we booked. Nothing I didn't like. The code to enter the accommodation was just a bit long.
- Honor (10/5): Exceptional -
- Pierce (8/5): Very good -
- Hillock (9/5): Superb -
- Elizabeth (8/5): A comfortable place to stay - Good location, nice walk to town centre. Easy parking, well equipped kitchen. Comfortable bed and nice bathroom. Good heating. The door code is a bit of a hassle but secure.
- Desirae (10/5): Highly recommend. Will definitely book again. - Great location. Easy walk along the lake into town.
- Jo (8/5): Great spot and would stay there again. - Great location, nice partial view of lake - good facilities. Excellent kitchen for an apartment and helpful to have washer dryer facilities. Good large shower. The layout of room could do with some work high dining table in corner and almost unusable small tv area with uncomfortable sofa in between the two areas. The comms prior to visit very focused on what was not allowed rather than welcoming. The $60 charge to check in at 12.30 seemed excessive particularly given check out was 10.
- Chapman (10/5): Exceptional -
- Sara (9/5): Superb -
- Fiona (9/5): Beautifully appointed apartment. Great location for the lake with easy to access parking. - Beautifully appointed apartment. There was an issue which was dealt with immediately and a solution given - we were extremely grateful.
- Gonzales (10/5): Exceptional - The location
- Corrie (9/5): Superb - Great location. Clean and had everything we needed. Would definitely stay again!!
- Kodie (10/5): Exceptional -
- Rebecca (8/5): Decent sized place with a decent view and parking. - -Location - close to the lakefront, but a couple of km away from the centre of town. View of the lake from the room.
-Access / parking - 4 digit code to get into the building / underground parking area, with a designated space. 9 digit code to get into the apartment…. Every time…. But of a pain, but I appreciate that this way you know there is no way a previous guest knows the code.
-Restaurants - a few things close by, though we didn’t try them. Plenty of restaurants in town, and plenty of takeouts that deliver through the usual apps.
-WiFi speed - 375 mbps down and 240 mbps up
-Amenities/ facilities- decent enough kitchen, dishwasher, washer, dryer and clothes horse. Everything you need.
There was also access to the pool, sauna and hot tub, but we didn’t try them.
-Bed - comfy
-Noise levels - just off the main road, so a little noisy, but quiet overnight for the mostpart.
-Temperature - the bedroom is in a space which basically has slide open walls that when closed leaves you with no windows. At first we thought no problem, but the first night we were super hot so had to open the walls to get some airflow. Particularly as the aircon is in the main part of the room. I wasn’t unhappy with that setup though.
-Shower - double width with 2 showers you can use together as a couple. Decent temperature and pressure.
- Chris (8/5): We enjoyed our stay and did a lot of walking from the apartment - Location, size, parking Kitchen a bit small
- Jeremy (10/5): Exceptional -
- David (9/5): Would have been perfect bar the weather. - Very well appointed. Everything one could need
- Adriana (9/5): Beautiful place, location and facilities were great, comfortable and very clean. - The location was perfect, it was very clean and tidy, loved the double headed shower, it was spacious, comfortable bed and couches, great that it had a balcony, the pool was good, especially since it was heated and not freezing cold, awesome that it had a gym and a sauna too! In the spa part of the pool on the seat its almost like there was fiberglass or something and we both ended up with what felt like a million splinters in the back of our legs for the rest of the time :( also more instructions on parking would be great! we did get a little bit confused.
- Kay (9/5): Lovely secure apartment, excellent for a quiet break away with easy access to the Lake front - The building was very secure and well presented, with free undercover parking.
The room was spacious, very clean and well equipped. It was quiet and private, and very comfortable.
We loved our stay. No complaints at all.
- Melanie (9/5): Superb -
- Debbie (8/5): Very good -
- Haley (6/5): Pleasant - For guests that are staying a bit longer than 2 days may need extra towels.
- Moya (8/5): Very good -
- Glenn (9/5): Superb - Location and size
- Tausala (10/5): Perfect long weekend stay - The property was lovely and clean. Was a good location by the lakeside. There was every amenity you could possibly need, and loved the spa/pool and private gym and sauna. Very good stay and worth it.
- Schrader (8/5): Very good - Had everything we wanted IE coffee machine/ swimming pool/ spa and netflix
- Damien (8/5): Very good -
- Christine (9/5): Loved staying here!! Apartment and facilities were just as advertised. Will be back 😃 - very clean and had everything I needed in the apartment
- Wendy (9/5): relaxing, comfortable, close to lake, great spa and pool, underground secure carpark bonus. - everything N/A
- Ian (10/5): A review from a weekend getaway - The room was quite literally set up to feel like a home the instructions to get in were nice and clear nice clean room having a soundbar with a sub for the TV was a bit overkill but I'm all for it. The gym, sauna and pool were all awesome and well looked after the bed was perfect having a proper coffee machine and a decent kitchen was nice too showered were great hot and high pressure. The park we had for our room was great too. Although the room was claimed to be soundproof you still can hear some stuff like people walking up and down the mental stairway and loud cars going down the main road the usb charging port on the lamp on the left side of the bed was broken and battery's were flat in the remote to the sound bar (I replaced them btw) this is be being extremely nitpicky this apartment is actually very nice for the price and this will be my first pick if I'm ever to stay in town again.
- Wereta (10/5): Exceptional -
- Marie (10/5): had a ball - was perfect for the two of us nothing
- Kelsie (10/5): Exceptional -
- Graham (9/5): Apart from the lack of soap etc, we absolutely loved it. - Only one small bar of soap, one sachet of shampoo, and one sachet of conditioner for two people for three nights is not enough.
- Atienza (9/5): enjoy it and will be back again - The room was nicely presented and with some available cooking stuff in the kitchen. The room need to have more lights as there not enough lightings.
- Sue (9/5): Superb -
- Tony (9/5): Superb -
- Ester (7/5): We loved the complex and the facilities - probably would stay in a bigger apartment next time :-) - The location was awesome and the pool/spa pool was great. Accommodation was functionally and modern We found the 1 bedroom apartment - really compact - actually too compact...it was more like a tiny studio, so felt it was a bit expensive for the space we had.
- Gaurav (9/5): Superb -
- Sandra (10/5): great location, quiet at night, lovely small balcony to see the sunset from at night with a wine. comfortable bed and gr - Nicely decorated, modern , fresh and all kitchen equipment was smart and colour coordinated. It was all tastefully coordinated . panty door handles are incredibly difficult to pull on the open doors.
