Located in a central location to all facilities in Foster - beach, shops & restaurants. Would recommend. ##### Janelle W. Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Jason D. 13 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great location Great location, but we weren’t provided with a remote to access the security parking which was very inconvenient and disappointing, particularly given the price. To their credit the property management staff were very helpful. The property was very clean and tidy internally but the balconies need a good clean. ##### Jason D. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Trevor R. 3 Apr 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication, location Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy #### Great view, spoilt by poor cleaning and a dirty apartment. Unfortunately the dirty state of the apartment severely affected our stay. The view truly is amazing but for the price we expected the apartment to be clean or at very least hygienic. There was faeces still in the toilet; there was hair all over the carpet; there was snot on the cupboard in the master bedroom; there were spider webs and cobwebs inside the lounge; the dishes were not clean and required cleaning before use and there were pubic hairs on the floor. Our time was enjoyed none the less because of the incredible location. Hopefully the apartment gets the clean it needs. ##### Trevor R. Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Vanessa T. 31 May 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Brilliant location This property made for a brilliant stay. All facilities were great and the apartment was very clean. Communication with property manager was sufficient and check in process worked well. Will definitely stay here again. ##### Vanessa T. Stayed 5 nights in May 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Sharon G. 14 Jul 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great Loction - No WIFI Great location, the unit itself is a bit dated and WIFI should be included as an automatic in this day and age. I was staying for work and was not aware there was no wifi until very late!!!! ##### Sharon G.
