It was easy to get there and close to where we needed to be. A but shabby in the unit. On the plus side, the shower was good, the bed reasonably comfortable and the area was quiet for the time we were there.

The unit was very clean and comfortable. However I noticed a hole in the ceiling where a fire alarm once was and also a spit in the fabric on the lounge. The grounds were well kept as was the pool area. Check in and check out was quick and easy.

Great location within easy access to everything we needed. The only downside was caused by inconsiderate tenants who continually allowed security and apartment doors to slam shut whenever accessing the property

I like it the location and the service from the Receptionist guy, but our apartment had some issues that didn't tell us before we arrive.

2/10

Quite possibly the filthiest place I have ever stayed at. Old dishes were left in the dishwasher which had become mouldy. We only realised this on the last day but it explained the stench. Old dirty cutlery and rubbish had been left in cupboards. There was faeces smeared on the wall above the toilet. We advised the guy at the front desk of some of the cleanliness issues on the Saturday morning and he said it would be cleaned again that day but it never happened. It does not get worse than this. I wrote to management seeking a response but never got one so will leave this review for the public as a warning to stay away from this place. I expect a response from Management denying everything as they have with other negative reviews. STAY AWAY.

This property is very tired and needs makeover asked about rubbish removal or getting something once it runs out and was told no service for the week and take your own rubbish out. Then some backpacker arrived at door wanting to change sheets??? Would not stay here again to old and very Noisy
