Units were very clean and cared for. Only disappointing factor would be no lifts for upstairs units, where one of our party members struggled to go upstairs and no downstairs units were available on the first two nights.

The staff were amazing and let us store our luggage whilst we ventured into cbd. The breakfast menu was very reasonable. The rooms were immaculately serviced. Would just recommend a set of stronger dining chairs and the sofa/couch needs upgrading.
