Hi Simon,Thank you for taking the time to send through your review. I have had a look at the air conditioner and because it is a multi-head unit the air conditioner in the living area and the bedroom have to be set to the same so both on heat or both on cool.There are instructions in the guest QR information which is located on the coffee table in all the apartments. If you have any issues during your stay just give us a call and we will be more than happy to help.We hope to see you again soon.Kind Regards,Michelle Berryman

Room was as described. Very easy check in via app technology. I had not used that prior and worked well. Only disappointment was bath tub in room was not as pictured in photos on line. And shower leaked out into rest of bathroom making floor wet. A mop in house could have helped. All up personal touch of welcome card was nice. Beds comfy. Just small let down with bathroom. Thanks for looking after us. Bruce.

Dear Anonymous Thankyou for your review. Firstly, I do apologise for this. As most of our rooms have showers in them only few rooms have the big beautiful bath tubs in them, please when you book with us in the future to request a bath tub to ensure we allocate to that room. I will also then note on your guest profile that you would like our rooms with the baths. I look forward to welcoming you back again in the future.

Excellent large, comfortable apartment.
Excellent stay in a large, comfortable apartment. The wooden floors and couch in the living space make this very home-like and a contrast to the usual grey carpet/walls/furniture look of apartments these days. The separate bedroom with its own air conditioner is great for cold Whyalla nights, and the large bathroom is well-appointed and works well. Overall, a great place to stay in Whyalla.

convenient, quiet and comfortable.
Spacious, with everything one could need. The only problem is the way that the developers have have been allowed to wreck the older parts of Whyalla by putting a shopping centre a long way from the main street. This means a lot of closed shops, and run down blocks, and you cannot so easily find food or drink within walking distance but have to drive. This is definitely not a criticism of the apartments, which are great and very well managed. But what it means is that you have to jump into your car to get almost anything. When are we going to learn!

My husband had not been in this building since it’s facelift from hotel to apartments and he was really impressed. It was stylish, and contemporary and really quiet for it’s location. The apartment was well equipped for basic cooking and was clean and easy to access without reception staff. The building still retains its charm and character with a modern and comfortable interior. We really liked the place.
