Good for early morning swims just to hop out and be back at the apartment in minutes. Martina was always contactable and friendly, appreciated her professionalism and helpfulness. Her place was clean and well organized, with beach towels provided as well as plenty of essentials like toilet paper, cling wrap, nespresso machine, and in room ‘shop’ like a mini bar you can purchase. The garden and private road parking access to our car through this garden was invaluable, it made the place more roomy as more room to spread out. We enjoyed our stay here thanks for having us! ##### Diana G. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Jenni 30 Oct 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, communication Disliked: Amenities This property is in an amazing location just seconds from the beach. It's basic but was clean and we were pleased as we didn't spend a lot of time in the accomodation so it was exactly what we needed. The only real down sides were what seem quite petty really. We were staying nearly three weeks and we would have to pay if we wanted clean towels. I get if you want new towels daily, but we should've got at least one replacement in that time. The pool often had a dog in there so we didn't go in there. Also, they offer various food stuffs in the cupboard which you pay for. Some of the items were over 18months out of date so this doesn't seem to be checked much. It was simple but perfect for what we needed. ##### Jenni Stayed 16 nights in Oct 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Karen E., Geelong, Australia 16 Jan 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Fabulous We loved our 12 day get-away in Palm Cove and staying in this very well equipped unit. The location was terrific with just a short walk to all amenities including the beach. The unit was lovely and clean, well equipped, attention to the little extras like batteries for the remote, board games and pantry items for sale if required. It was mostly quiet with a lovely well shaded rear garden area for relaxing. Ideally a small BBQ in the back yard would have been terrific but we managed without. The communal pool area was satisfactory but could certainly do with a face lift and regular clean. Overall a lovely stay and Martina (our contact) was terrific with providing information and responding to messages. ##### Karen E. Stayed 11 nights in Jan 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 6 Jan 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, communication Fantastic stay - considering we didn’t want to be in the accomodation much during the day as we planned on doing activities, we were surprised when the apartment was super cosy/clean/really well equipped and at such a good price point. Will definitely stay again. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Esther H. 29 Dec 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Christmas beach stay Appartment was close to the beach and cafes and dog friendly with a fenced garden Could not hear the neighbors Very comfortable ##### Esther H. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Beverley J. 13 Dec 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautifully renovated- superb location The property is situated in an excellent location a block back from the centre of Palm Cove. The unit is beautifully appointed, has a full range of amenities and thoughtful additions. The colours are relaxing and light filled. It would be nice to have a little bbq in the courtyard but with a fully equipped kitchen, you really don’t want for anything. We will definitely be back. ##### Beverley J. ### 10/10 Excellent #### kate I. 5 Sept 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Homey and great location Loved our stay. Really amazing location, comfy beds, everything you could want in an apartment. The knives were even sharp! We loved having our old dog with us too. ##### kate I. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2020
