The apartment was absolutely perfect for us. Clean, well maintained, everything you need but no crazy luxury (no need to worry you break or stain something, but free WiFi, smart telly and balcony with BBQ) and in perfect location right in the middle of the Waterfront precinct. Lagoon, wave pool and ca 20 restaurants and cafes directly at your feet. Greg and Jenet made the stay super easy. When we accidentally locked ourselves out Jenet helped us in about 5min. We couldn't be happier with our choice. ##### Sven S.

The location is absolutely fabulous. Restaurants galore of every kind. The lagoon and wave pool fantastic for swimming. An easy short walk to the cbd via the boardwalk.

Would definitely stay again ##### Darlene Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Anne W. 5 Jul 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Excellent location The flat looked better than the photos. Ideal for two couples or family. Location is great for the waterfront and cafes. Ten minute walk into town. Bit of an issue with one of the bathrooms but assume this will be fixed.
