The location was excellent for us as we have a child and this accommodation is just opposite a major public play space. The apartment was lovely and a very generous size, we had direct access to the pool which was amazing.

Rebecca Australia

I liked everything about this property. Our 2 bedroom apartment was beautiful in every way with all the mod cons you could want, a large balcony overlooking the sparkling swimming pools, parklands and ocean.

Williamson Norfolk Island

The location was perfect for our family to get into the city and enjoy the esplanade. The adults and children enjoyed the pools and spas. The view was great.
