    5/5
    From the friendly & welcoming Reception staff through to the cheery house-keeping staff, we found our stay both comfortable and relaxing. Our room was spacious and comfortable - and very quiet. Walking distance to the beach, local shops and restaurants and bars meant parking the car in the undercover car park and forgetting about it for the whole weekend.…

    Del Rae Unit 15 - Shoal Bay
    Expedia Verified Review…
    3/5
    This property has a lot of potential. But... it is advertised as an air conditioned unit. When turned on, a light on the ac unit flashes continually but does not actually turn on. There are ample pedestal and table fans, which should have raised our suspicions as to the non working ac. The window in bed 2 is only held in place by the shutters- it is completely out of its tracks and wobbles dangerously. The whole unit needs a good scrub, food particles under cushions and furniture, sauce??smeared on coffee table and tv unit. Older folk would benefit from knowing this property is on the third floor, no lifts available. On the plus side, it’s in a handy spot for local cafes, restaurants and the beach. Local club can be noisy on weekends if you’re a light sleeper or like your windows open at night. It wouldn’t take much to bring it up to scratch, a little maintenance and a good scrub for starters. At present $728 for 3 nights is overpriced.…
