Lovely place
Lovely property. We hadn't realised this was a second floor duplex, but simple and comfortable. No issues with room,cairns con in bedrooms. Staff were lovely and very helpful. About ten minutes walk from main street and lots of coffee houses and restaurants within ten minutes on an Uber.

We loved this townhouse, so spacious and close enough to walk to the esplanade restaurants. Playground down the road for the kids made it a handy location for us

The owners thought of special things like salt and pepper available, all kitchen items, clothes horse as not everyone wants to use the dryer. Easy walking to shops.
Maybe have a map in unit for those late check ins as the map we got from reception after 3 days there was great.
Maybe leave a note to warn rentals about leaving food/honey/sugar out, as ants around.

Too many stairs for two women in their 60,s to carry up heavy bags ect. Not enough security, got robbed on the second night we were there. Person who robbed us came in while we were sleeping upstairs.

Great staff but old complex.
Staff and communication was fantastic. Very helpful with early checkin and providing information about tours and attractions.
Unfortunately, the complex and apartments are extremely dated and not deserving of a 4 star rating. Worth a look if you're looking for budget accommodation and prepared for a good walk from the main esplanade and shops. Younger kids will struggle to walk the distance. Not a problem if you have a car with plenty of parking on site and street.
When I booked the accommodation, I requested the option to pay later at the hotel, however they charged me the full amount upfront at time of booking. I didn't make an issue of it as it wasn't all that much money for 4 nights accommodation, but it is misleading and wrong. Just be aware of this.

Great apartment with privacy lock on bedroom door.
So convenient having a washing machine and dryer.
Very spacious open plan and kitchen had microwave.
The only drawback was the mattress in the main bedroom, it really needs to be replaced.
Overall very happy with our stay and the location.
