An ok apartment, not an apartment I would want to spend a lot of time in, just somewhere to sleep really. Tiny ocean glimpse, but only if you waljed out and looked, not from the lounge room. Location good behind the esplanade and an easy walk through the walkways. Clean, tiny and comfortable.

Most importantly this is not a hotel, it is an apartment building. We paid a lot during an event, and were severely disappointed at service and ammenties. There was no one for reception for check in, no visitor parking bays, and we were provided a single building key. The room was missing soap in one bathroom and had a broken towel rack. The pool area is small and uninviting.

Great location close to beach, shops and eateries. Facilities were great as we had all the kitchen appliances and a washing machine which was very useful. Could have been cleaner. We stayed a week and hadn't been left enough toiletries to cover that so had to keep going to ask which was a bit annoying, i.e. 2 toilet rolls for 2 people for a week. Easy access and parking. Would stay again.

Dated and a little dirty

Check in was great and the team brilliant, location was perfect. The apartment itself was dated and a little dirty. Some odd smells coming out of the carpets (damp) and from behind the fridge. One shower was unusable due to broken shower head and the towels were stained and burn marked. We tried to speak to reception but as it was public holiday weekend the desk was always closed. All in all it was ok, but I dont think we will back any time soon.

The location was fabulous. It was within an easy walkable distance to the beach shops restaurants and supermarkets. The apartment itself was a good size well kept and clean. The reception staff was very good. We had an initial problem with the internet but eventually it was sorted after reception staff persevered with it. The terrace was long and narrow and only gott a little bit of sun

The apartment was very good, great shower but water leaked under door. Good tv with free fox and wifi. The name “First Light” gave me expectations of a bright light filled accomodation however as it was on the lowest level we only had glimpses of sky let alone water glimpses. I guess someone has to end up here but I’d only stay again on a higher floor.

Great location.

Great location and walking distance to all restaurants, shops and beach. Spacious apartment with balcony and was well equipped. We had a few issues with a terrible smell coming up from drains in bathrooms- reported it to reception and they sent someone to fix that day, however after 24hrs, the smell came back. We also had issues with getting the tv to work, again reported to reception and they fixed, but we were unable to get any local channels the entire stay. Cleaning could have been better, pistachio nut under bed on arrival and fluff on floor. Also found that doors were a little grotty and mirrors still had finger prints on them. There is no servicing to apartment, so if you have a longer stay, you will need to wash your towels.

I had to spend a lot of time in the apartment due to bad weather. I stayed in a two bedroom apartment with limited access for one. Although it had modern facilities, it was not a comfortably furnished apartment, and the furniture was cheap and tired. For dining there were hard stools and a high bar bench instead of a table and chairs. There was also only a small sofa only suitable for two people (sitting very close!), and no coffee table or lamps in the open living/kitchen area. As a solo traveller it was manageable, but it is not enough seating for four people with two bedrooms. The ensuite was tiny but again ok for one, and clean. Definitely not enough room for a couple. I had expected to have access to a normal size bathroom when I booked an apartment. The lift security buttons were temperamental, so I got stuck in the lift a few times when it didn’t recognise my floor. I liked that it was close to the shops and beach.
