"On arrival the receptionist was friendly and efficient. The apartment was well maintained and offered plenty of facilities if we had stayed more than the one night. We chose to eat in town at lunchtime, whilst visiting the shopping centre. Plenty of shopping options if you want. Went to Hearsons Cove , 25 minute drive north of town for a picnic and watch the sunset. Wish I'd taken a towel. Would stay here again."
