    The bathroom drain had a very nasty smell. Small pool

    The location was perfect as the beach was right across the street. The view was amazing and the apartment was very clean and the kitchen fully stocked.

    I have an electric vehicle and I was not permitted to charge in the car space in the garage. Whilst I understand the unit was privately owned, there was a PowerPoint right next to my car in the car space but was not permitted to use it. There are no Tesla superchargers on that end of the coast and the closest paid charging point at Twin Towns did not have the correct charging plug. To charge my vehicle, I had to drive further down the coast road to another small budget motel which had 2 paid charging stations, but unfortunately, I had to wait over 2 hours for the vehicle to charge at some random destination not close to shops to pass my time. As electric vehicles are now popular, an EV charger could be considered for guests at the complex for guests with this type of vehicle.

    The unit was spacious, the view from the balcony was amazing. The location was fantastic, just across from the beach and a short walk to shops and clubs. Loved the 2 car spaces for a 3-bedroom apartment.

    The spare bathroom window was broken (although fixed on request) and the fridge beeped continually every time you opened the door.

    The view, the beautiful comfy furniture, the pool, how spacious the apartment was, how close to the beach it was.

    The lighting drove us crazy; couldn't turn on and off easily and couldn't work out dimmer, very randomly got them to work. Door to bathroom didn't lock. Ceiling fan needed in media room.

    Very clean, comfortable beds, very well equipped, quality appliances, great view, great showers

    We lacked extra blankets, it was a bit nippy, so you are reliant on Aircon Heat, which is not ideal in my view as it tends to make you ill if you have to close all windows and rely on Aircon Heat. If we had extra blankets then we would have switched off the Heating System, and opened the windows a little bit through the night.

    The location is brilliant. Walk across the road and you are on the beach. The balcony looks over the ocean. Pretty neat stuff! Great parking, access, and reception is helpful, the place is meticulously maintained. Really wonderful. Let's keep it a secret between us.

    After spending over $2000 dollars to stay 3 nights for our wedding week we were accused of stealing beach towels so they were not going to give us all our bond back. Only when we strongly contested this, two days later they claimed it was a cleaners mistake. When I expressed our disappointment there was no reply. Ruined the whole experience and the reception staff were not very welcoming or friendly on arrival or departure.

    The location, views and apartment was amazing!
