I honestly couldn't fault it. The only criticism would be that the location of the car park is a bit of a walk from the actual apartment, so getting all the gear up and down for a toddler was a bit of a challenge. A part from this, the apartment was terrific. Plenty of space and we'll appointed. ##### Michael N.

Stayed 8 nights in Jan 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Steven M. 6 Feb 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Communication #### Apartment Great, Complex Manager Nightmare The apartment itself is very well appointed, 2 x balconies, loads of space and we had 7 people. Beds and lounge comfortable, Kitchen with everything in it, full size fridge, pantry etc. 2 x showers, 1 x spa bath, 2 x toilets so no waiting around for the bathroom. Ample technology with multiple TV's, dvd, bluetooth speaker, games for the family, cool artworks, overall really liked the apartment. Beach was good, Food eateries were good, brewery was really good, ice cream parlor delicious, walks along the front promenade were relaxing with a handful of rabbits running around, green grass to sit and enjoy. The issue we had was with the under cover parking allocation that was supposed to be with the apartment. Upon arrival we noticed a woman spray painting the lines of a couple of parking spaces in a different colour paint and she proceeded to tell us to park 200m away in a different underground carpark. We also noticed her taking down apartment numbers (in front of the parking spaces) and changing them to suit her needs. we then found out from her she not only worked there she owned several of the apartments herself and she hounded us to keep moving our vehicle, she even interrupted our Christmas Lunch looked at us, smiled and lied straight to our faces it was really unbelievable. There is obviously a racket going on as she was very comfortable telling porky pies, it was like she was happy causing us discomfort. If the owner of the apartment reads this I hope you can do something about the racket that's going on because it must be affecting your investment, we definately will NOT be back. ##### Steven M.
