Lovely family holiday spot

Just as per pictures, great spot. Quite dark inside the house and verandah didn’t actually get much sun until the afternoon, but the view was incredible and such an incredibly lovely thing to wake up to and look out at all day! Kids loved the gentle beach. We ended up not using the main bedroom as was too far from the kids room, but if you had older kids the separation and extra living room would be awesome! Annoying you have to bring your own sheets for such an expensive holiday, I found that a very odd management decision. But overall very happy with the stay

family holiday

This is a lovely, modern, bright, very spacious apartment right on the beach-only a road and carpark out front. Everything is newish and stylish...you could live there. A slight problem with the toilet was immediately fixed.Perfect location!

Wonderful apartment and location

Only two complaints. We cannot complain about the comfort of the apartment or the location at all. The apartment is modern, renovated at some point I’d say, and we’ll appointed with all the creature comforts that keep a young family happy including smart TVs and wifi. The elevator is also a big help. We did some extra cleaning when we arrived (kitchen and bathrooms) but more so to sanitise... kitchen cupboard were a little marked). Location is perfect right across from little beach and for me the boat ramp access. Two complaints: Pool was unusable due to duck faeces. I reported this on day 1 of our stay and was it addressed until 5 days later, so no pool for the kids. No water / tap access. I had my boat parked at the ramp. The ramp has no boat cleaning facilities. The apartment complex (strata) would not provide a tap ‘key’ to use the tap. Their excuse; boat parking was not mentioned in the property listing therefore we should not be parking our boat here and therefore no need for water access.

Beautiful property but stay ruined by unable to use lift for on 1st & 2nd & 5th day

Lovely property, but was not informed when making booking that the loft would be out of order on first second and third days of our stay, with my elderly mother and also toddlers was very inconvenient, we should of been made aware of this at time of booking so we could decide to change our travel dates
