    Great position, fine for a short break

    The failure to replace a nonworking kettle, reported on our first morning, was intensely annoying, and fell short of what I would expect from a property manager. Noise from unit above from people walking and kids yelling was sometimes a nuisance. Storage of patio furniture inside the unit was irritating as hell - why couldn't this be outside on the patio permanently? Lack of conveniently placed PowerPoints a nuisance for charging devices and my CPAP machine. The narrow, awkward access to the lockable garage was impossible for our Mazda6, meaning we had to park on the street and walk across a mostly wet lawn which had no path. No proper mat outside the front door meant we couldn't brush our shoes properly before entry. Aesthetically, a few more pictures around the place would make it look a little more homey, and the odd white object sticking out of the lounge room wall made us wonder if we were on Candid Camera!

    The position is unbeatable - convenient and beautiful - and the bed was comfortable. Kitchen was adequately supplied and the large fridge was good. Though lack of heating and air-conditioning would be a problem in other seasons, we found the unit temperature comfortable for our stay. Furnishings adequate, though hardly luxurious. Plenty of storage in the bedroom we used for a short stay.

    The unit is on grond level, with too many access points; and keys are challenging to identify and not easy to operate. The garage was operatable from inside. There is no AC at the ground level. It is not suitable for warm days.

    The location is just infront of the beach facing mainland. High tide during night, make the location enjoyable for early morning walk or a early start for a dip in cold water or watersports. The property has attached garage for car parking. Everything for a self contained stay

    The cleaner started cleaning the above unit before 7am and woke us all up after a family wedding the night before.

    Only thing I wasn’t happy with was there was sand under the blankets in one of the beds, weren’t sure if they were clean.

    Had everything we needed, was very close to the beach. Was beautiful!

    Being the bottom floor, noise vibrated from above. Cleaners came at 6.45am one day and it was very loud. The shower needs extra pressure and I do prefer a hand held hose. Having the bath is a bonus.

    The bed was the best I've ever slept in. The entire apartment was very comfortable and the kitchen facilities fantastic. Internal garage made unpacking etc very easy. Everything was very easy to use, including the TV, stove, microwave and washing machine. A bit old fashioned but suited us very well. Views across the water and dolphins came every afternoon with the incredible sunset.

    It had no aircon. I think I’m summer it would definitely need it.

    The unit was so clean, tidy and well stocked. The frangipani flowers placed around the unit were a particularly nice touch. It gave it a touch of beachside elegance while making it feel welcoming. Location was walking distance to almost everything. Great views.

    Unit needs updating, it's still in 80's, looks like owners haven't done anything for years. Curtain broken in one bedroom and had trouble pulling across in the other. Neighbours stomping above and moving furniture early both mornings (got woken up). I'm sorry to sound so negative but for what you pay you expect things to be a bit nicer. Need to check your raw sugar container as it has other bits in it.

    View and how clean it was, close to facilities.
