Great location, great views from apartment 24. Clean and roomy apartment with everything you’d need. Our little one had a great time at the pool. It’s a home away from home, great place to come home to each day after a long tour.

Katherine United States of America

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.

Christine Australia

Perfect location. Lovely views. Spacious and comfortable accommodation. Access to the esplanade with Muddy's cafe directly opposite for morning coffees or a quick take-away. Self-catering facilities. Secure off-street parking for hire cars. Very friendly and helpful staff.

Tonia Australia

This property is centrally located, with easy access to water front, pier, dining and shopping, and the airport. The ocean views are wonderful. Very nice, clean, modern, well equipped apartment. We would definitely stay again if we have the opportunity.
