    Not much

    Staff and owners were superb and very helpful and friendly! The location is superb down the quieter end of the Esplanade. Its also a quiet apartment block, very little noise, and so felt private and peaceful. There was ample outside or basement undercover parking. The balcony views (from level 2 where I was) were serenely peaceful out to the street and bay opposite - people watching walking or jogging by day, or the sound of rolling waves all night was lovely. The apartment was stocked with every utensil needed along with ample plates cutlery glasses cups tea towels etc. Also a large fridge and freezer not just a bar fridge was a nice surprise. The washer and dryer were excellent - no need to bring endless clothes you can wash and dry every night if wanted (although you get a starter pack of washing powder, I bought a small pack of wash powder for my 2 week stay). The balcony is excellent for drying clothes in the sun as well (nice north east aspect), and is a nice private space to relax as well. The king size bed was extremely comfortable - unlike other places that put 2 x king singles together to make a king, this was actually a king sized bed! The pillows were excellent as well, various types. The TV with access to Netlfix, Prime, etc was superb (I caught up on some old movies I hadn't seen). The only thing missing was oven mits (so I purchased some cheap ones at the supermarket and left as my donation for the future). The pool was very private and nice, although I only walked in up to the knees I will take a swim in it next time. The Indian Restaurant downstairs was excellent as well, such a treat to just go downstairs and pick up takeaway. Many great restaurants nearby as well. I will always come back here. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay more than anywhere else I've ever stayed!

    Pillows a bit large and hard for our liking.

    Great location and quiet bedroom even thought it is on the main road.

    We had unit 4 which is probably the least desirable one. Right next to the restaurant and the entrance. No privacy on the balcony and all the mouse from the restaurant. A woman who works there talks loudly on her phone every afternoon before they open.

    Close to the beach with good access, Being self contained is excellent

    Kayaks we hired had missing handles and the trolley to take them out was pvc contraption and so kayaks difficult to take out. There should be a pool gate close to the ramp rather than the steep stairs.

    Modern kitchen, comfortable living room, sea view and location.

    There was nothing to dislike

    What a fantastic place. Great spacious room with everything you could need for a short or long stay. Comfortable bed, well equipped kitchen with a full size oven, cooktop and microwave. Aircon to the bedroom and living room area. The location is right across the street from the miles and miles of beaches. There are ample restaurants including the Nilima, the Indian restaurant at the hotel with excellent food. There is also a lovely pool at the Apartments, BBQ facilities and a supermarket just 500 metres away.
