Kelly

The location was convenient. Beds were comfortable and having a kitchen is great if you want to cook. Bathroom is big enough.

Debra

Australia

Location was reasonable walking distance from the CBD. It was next to the Whale/Dolphin/Albatross tour operation which was very handy if booked into the early morning session. Full width glass frontage to the room provided excellent views over the bay. Nice to wake up to the sunrise.

Neale

Australia

Great location. However the floor had a very loud squeak which for an apartment of this price shouldn't have been.

All the photos show views of the water but ours was a two bedroom and looks like all of those face a construction side. Little run down in parts and next to no amenities other than tea coffee.

.There was no service whatsoever, other than room cleaning - in the morning only. The price for the room was exorbitant given the service offered, no breakfast and nothing personalized.

There were very squeaky floorboards in our room, our neighbours room and on the deck outside our rooms. Was woken by the neighbour at around 5.30 am out on the deck, and I can only guess that the other neighbour could here us moving around in our room as we could clearly hear them! I did feel it was a little pricey as we have stayed at other locations for a similar price but the quality was a little higher there.
The bed was exceptionally comfortable, we peeled back the sheets to see if we could find a brand. The room was very clean. The girl at the front desk was lovely and helpful.

For the price of $240 it is very expensive. We have stayed in lots of wonderful places this trip and this is the only over priced place. Manager could be a lot more friendly as well.
