This is my fourth stay over past 6 years, each time a girls weekend. Variety of firm and soft beds is much appreciated. Very happy indeed with furniture, fresh modern decor, balconies, birds and gardens. Will return again. ##### SunnyPat This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 6/10 Okay #### Anonymous 9 Jul 2015 #### 14 The Commodore We really loved our stay. The apartment was great except for the mattress that had a huge dip in the middle, the sheer curtains on the lounge room windows at ground level ( felt a bit like a fish in a bowl). We had secure parking and once we got used to which stairs to access from garage all was great. A well equipped apartment that just needed a couple of things to make it fantastic. Lots of lovely restaurants to enjoy close by and Wineries to visit. We also enjoyed the thrill of quad bike riding and the more sedate ferry ride to tea gardens. ##### Anonymous This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Stu E. 17 Jun 2015 #### Clean, comfortable, quiet & close to everything. We really enjoyed our stay in unit 14. Very nice & well equipped (except dryer didn't work). A great summer rental as the balconies get very little sun & being on the ground floor the unit would stay cool. There in May no sun on unit except for about 1 hour around 2pm on front balcony. Great value for a very nice property with a convenient location. ##### Stu E. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Fairmont Resort Blue Mountains MGallery Collection](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-Fairmont-Resort-Spa-Blue-Mountains.h522363.Hotel-Information) > > [Mercure Hunter Valley Gardens](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pokolbin-Hotels-Mercure-Resort-Hunter-Valley-Gardens.h1877968.Hotel-Information) > > [Mandalay Luxury Beachfront Apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Port-Douglas-Hotels-Mandalay-Luxury-Beachfront-Apartments.h2648804.Hotel-Information) > > [The Lost Camel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Yulara-Hotels-The-Lost-Camel.h4805954.Hotel-Information) > > [Ozone Hotel Kangaroo Island](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kingscote-Hotels-Aurora-Ozone-Hotel.h2737459.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Dubai](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dubai-Intl-Airport-Hotels.0-aDXB-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Lilianfels Resort & Spa - Blue Mountains](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-Lilianfels-Resort-Spa-Blue-Mountains.h872.Hotel-Information) > > [Torquay Foreshore Caravan Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Torquay-Hotels-Torquay-Foreshore-Caravan-Park.h6001296.Hotel-Information) > > [Club Wyndham Airlie Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Airlie-Beach-Hotels-Club-Wyndham-Airlie-Beach.h2802992.Hotel-Information) > > [Bannisters Port Stephens](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Soldiers-Point-Hotels-Bannisters-Port-Stephens.h27355893.Hotel-Information) > > [Exmouth Escape Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Exmouth-Hotels-Exmouth-Escape-Resort.h4032424.Hotel-Information) > > [Glamping at Truffle Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gretna-Hotels-Truffle-Lodge.h22239606.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Wimbledon Tennis Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Wimbledon-Tennis-Club-Hotels.0-l501564-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Sheraton Grand Mirage Resort, Port Douglas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Port-Douglas-Hotels-Sheraton-Grand-Mirage-Resort.h8065.Hotel-Information) > > [The Carrington Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-The-Carrington-Hotel.h474003.Hotel-Information) > > [Wyndham Resort Torquay](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Torquay-Hotels-Wyndham-Resort-Torquay.h1927122.Hotel-Information) > > [Coral Sea Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Airlie-Beach-Hotels-Coral-Sea-Marina-Resort.h1047180.Hotel-Information) > > [Heron Island Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Heron-Island-Hotels-Heron-Island-Resort.h1636471.Hotel-Information) > > [RAC Ningaloo Reef Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Coral-Bay-Hotels-Ningaloo-Reef-Resort.h4257765.Hotel-Information) > > [The Copa Cabana at Copacabana](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Copacabana-Hotels-The-Copa-Cabana-At-Copacabana.h33554165.Hotel-Information) > > [Inhabit Queen's Gardens, a Member of Design Hotels](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Inhabit.h3087913.Hotel-Information) > > [Kangaroo Island Wilderness Retreat](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Karatta-Hotels-Kangaroo-Island-Wilderness-Retreat.h2041654.Hotel-Information) > > [By The Sea Port Douglas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Port-Douglas-Hotels-By-The-Sea-Port-Douglas.h3024406.Hotel-Information) > > [Heritage Trail Lodge Margaret River](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Margaret-River-Hotels-Heritage-Trail-Lodge-Margaret-River.h9624427.Hotel-Information) > > [Rochester Riverside Holiday Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rochester-Hotels-Rochester-Riverside-Caravan-Park.h65341713.Hotel-Information) > > [RAC Monkey Mia Dolphin Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Monkey-Mia-Hotels-RAC-Monkey-Mia-Dolphin-Resort.h2650828.Hotel-Information) ### Activities > [Things to do in Mallorca Island](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Mallorca-Island.d602317.Travel-Guide-Activities) > > [Things to do in New York](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-New-York.d178293.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > [Tuvalu Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tuvalu.d185.Holidays-City-Breaks)
