Good location and our room was clean and spacious, however the bed was small and uncomfortable (double, not a queen size) so my wife and I slept in separate rooms. No instant coffee or machine, just 2x cappuccino sachets. Fixtures and fittings need a refresh. We won't be back.

It was a lovely apartment. But would be nice if there was Netflix. I donated a HDMI cord, so others can use their laptop and watch Netflix. Also, kitten needs dishwashing liquid & sponges. Thanks Sash

Location fantastic, facilities fantastic, bedding fresh & clean. Some things a little out dated (hello iPod docking Stereo - no bluetooth), the apartment felt grubby and needed a deep clean ie. The walls, inside the cutlery draw, the air vents, the range hood. More shower towels would also be useful. It did have a clothes washer and dryer which was so handy and plenty of kitchen utensils etc Nice touch to have some washing powder and detergent, sugar, salt and pepper etc overall recommend for comfort, facilities and location.

This property exceeded our expectations. It was clean and a lot of thought had gone into making our stay a good one. A few minor maintenance issues (a sticking door in a bedroom etc but we have paid more in Torquay for a poorer venue, so we hope to stay again in future.

Nice modern property just a short walk from the foreshore with various dining options close by. Unfortunately, we were not provided enough toilet paper for our short stay which was unexpected.

Master bedroom was very noisy all night with some kind of air conditioner/ vent right outside our window. Adequate kitchen facilities for a couple of nights. Great to have washer & dryer in the apartment. Two decent size bedrooms. Overall cleaning could have been much better - the whole apartment was in desperate need of a deep clean. Shower in ensuite had gross buildup all the way around, fridge had other people's food buildup. Spider webs and lots of dust on the heating/ AC unit in the main living room. Had to pull out trundle bed in kids room to retrieve dropped toys, and carpet was filthy. Also very concerning that window in kids room opened up from the floor. Yes it was locked, but the key was sitting in the lock and I only knew about it after my kids (6 yr old) already worked out how to open the window themselves. They're lucky they didn't fall straight onto concrete below. Very unsafe for a kids room! Also not much point having a mini bath under the shower if you don't provide a plug. Kids loved having access to the indoor pool - this was a major selling point for us. Great overall location, but not sure I'd go back due to the lack of cleanliness and noise from fans.
