  • Hi I am looking at the 2 bedroom premium harbour view apartment. It’s hard to tell if they are direct views or blocked by the Hilton or have views over other areas. Some photos look fantastic but some look like they are far away from the water. I’d love to book one with better views. Thank you

    Hi, The Premium apartments are both harbour view. One being situated on the South East corner of the building with Marina, Inlet and garden views and the other sits on the North West corner with marina, harbour and Esplanade views.
