Tasman

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Loved the facilities. Nice heated pool and spa. The walk to the beach was effortless, pathway all the way and a crossing. The restaurants walking distance too. Amazing quality food. The only thing I was confused about was that the 2 bedroom apartment advertisement stated it comes with shower or bath. I got an apartment with a shower, but that’s okay, just confusing. The beds were firm and got the best night sleep. Lovely block out shades. We recommend room 308 simply for the car park spot if you drive a big rig. But it’s up 3 flight of stairs for those who can’t do stairs. Would definitely book in again.

Thanks for your feedback and we're so glad you enjoyed your stay. Just confirming that some of our apartments have a walk in shower (no bath) and others have a bath with shower above. Hope this helps with any confusion.

The apartment need a little renovation specially in the bathroom. Plus also fans need to be added to the apartment. Overall a beautiful area and so close to the beach and restaurants. Thank you for making our family holiday a great adventure.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This place was fine. A bit dated and it felt a bit strange with all the rooms kind of looking in on each other with the way all the rooms wrap around the pool in a U shape but in general it was good. Pool was nice and clean and warm. Room was clean. You can’t walk into the main town area from here through. Definitely need to drive. The beach across the road is beautiful. Definitely visit pilot beach which about 40 mins drive south. Fine place to stay for 2-3 nights. I don’t think I could stay here for a week. A bit confined for me.

Thanks for the review Luke, I'm pleased you enjoyed the Flynn's beach, our pools and the cleanliness of the room.The resort is designed so most of the rooms can view the pool.

Clean room, spacious, had everything we needed. Walk to Flynn's Beach. Short drive to town. Kids loved the pool. One suggestion would be to add some umbrellas over at least some of the pool side seating, so adults have somewhere shady to sit while supervising the kids in the pool.

What an incredibly well kept apartment property. Everything was spotless and the parking is really easy. Having stayed at many apartments in Australia, this property is low-key but very sufficient and in tip-top condition. Beach properties like this can get run down easily, but you know that much care has gone into the maintenance of this place. We were so happy to have stayed here!

booked for three days. got a phone call from apartments saying we have restricted parking movements on the Sunday from 4am to 4pm. due to Ironman event. had we have known when we booked would have only booked 2 days. asked for a refund for last day as we were leaving early on Saturday ie 9am. got told no we don't refund. sofa bed was broken and had a printed sign saying it was broken also full of dust and stains on carpet. have photos to verify

Hi Keith,Thank you for your review. We are sorry the road closure for the Iron man event caused you any inconvenience. We phoned you eight days prior to your arrival to notify you of this and you agrreed that it was ok. Had you notified us at that time we may have been able to assist you with a change of date. The enjoyment of all our guests is paramount to us so we are dissappointed that the Iron Man event created a negative experience for you.
