5 / 5

We stayed in 344 The Waves for the weekend and it was very nice and pleasant. Apartment has ample space, kitchen has all your need, there are supplies like coffee, tea and even wines! And the spa-bath was very nice (bit noisy but nice). Balcony floor could use a clean, but that is really nitpicking. Location was excellent, at the beach with all the Phillip Island attractions within 15-20 mins drive. We loved it.…We stayed in 344 The Waves for the weekend and it was very nice and pleasant.
