The 1 bedroom apartment is huge with high ceilings and 2 balconies. It is basically 2 full normal hotel rooms in size. The kitchen is basic, but has all you need. There is no washing machine & dryer in the apartment - which is surprising. Overall, the property is a little "tired" and in an older style. But, it is clean, safe, spacious & in a nice quiet area - with loads of free parking. The staff were very friendly. I would definitely go back.

I enjoyed my stay, comfortable and relaxing rooms. In a fancy suburb of a major Australian city only a stones throw from the city, the room rates are brilliant! Spoke to a few of the staff including the guy who cleans the room and everyone was really easy going and easy to talk to. Did I mention there is plenty of car parks!!!??!! Off road and out of sight... in short, safe.

I booked because of price but then read some less than great reviews and became concerned. Upon arrival there was some construction taking place affecting the entrance. I was pleasantly surprised however when we parked right at the front door, was greeted by pleasant and helpful staff. The room was clean and un expectantly noticed facilities for four with plates, bowls, cups, glasses and cutlery. The pool was great and they provided extra towels. Apart from the lost Asian tourists trying to get into our room at 1:30 which could happen anywhere - but proved the lock worked. Would stay here again.

Excellent value. Spacious room, relatively quiet and very convenient for our purposes. Regarding room cleanliness, this could be improved. I felt that countertops, doors, door handles, light switches need to be thoroughly cleaned with disinfectant. As is often the case with hotels and serviced apartments, the level of attention to these areas can always be better. One garbage bin was total missed during the one cleaning service we had during our stay. (And it was full) Grateful for the swimming pool However, regarding hand-held shower device in women's restroom at the pool, it was loose and I was unable to fix it. I had to return to my room to shower after my swim. I would return to this property.
