The property was in a great location, easy to find and easy to park. The apartment was lovely for what we wanted. Only downside was the ridiculously small shower head, smaller than palm size.

Perfect stay in Rye

We stayed in a 1B king Apt and it was very spacious, clean and the kitchen included a fan forced oven with electric stove. A clean pool in the centre of the complex although we didnt use it during our stay. Perfect location with free parking and within walking distance to the local shops and restaurants. Checkin was easy and a friendly welcome by Kat. Will definitely stay back here.

Kathleen

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
The room was large, clean and refurbished, however there was limited natural light. The windows were 1/2 frosted so I couldn't see out so felt quite closed in. The door to the room is glass and faces a common walkway, so mostly we had the sheer curtain pulled across to stop people looking in. Good property if you just need a bed for the night. Location is excellent.

Awesome place, loved it. Very clean, well-presented. Spa was bigger than expected. Opposite intersection corner to Rye RSL, as well as positioned directly behind great cafes and restaurants. Room was quiet despite seeming like it was booked out. Pool looked nice (but this time of year is too cold for us to try it). TV with blu-ray and Netflix/Prime built-in. Disappointed we only stayed for one night, would have liked to have extended our visit for longer if our circumstances had permitted it!

Great little gem in the heart of Rye

Property is in a well located area close to beach and shops/restaurants. Everything is walking distance. Room was clean and the one bedroom apartment was very spacious. It had a separate living/kitchen area and large bathroom. The only drawback was the mattress was very hard and can do with an update.
