We enjoyed this stay. The kitchen is small but functional. The best part was the friendly and helpful front desk person (I can't remember his name). He went out of his way to help us with the air conditioner, and provided lots us useful info about the area.

Lovely apartment with even lovelier view

A friendly welcome from the reception team. Apartment was a studio with kitchenette on the top floor. It was clean, spacious, had good amenities and was close to shops and restaurants. The view of Picton harbour from our balcony was absolutely amazing, we could’ve stayed there all day watching the works go by. One night was not long enough!
