This property is in immaculate condition in a fantastic location. Couldn't fault the property or location. Loved the front balcony and sweeping ocean views. Could park the car off-street and everything such as beach, shops and dining within walking distance. Would definitely stay at the property again!

Beautiful apartment with views across to the beach, and just down the road from the famous Big Penguin. Local eateries very good and a supermarket 3 doors down the road. Well located for visits to Burnie, Ulverstone, Devonport,Gunns plains caves, Cradle mountain and others.

Unique decor, large open plan space. Beautiful waterfront views, in the centre of town for exploring. IGA and bakery very close by. A little hard to find clear signage for the property and parking. No freezer in the mini fridge.
