The apartment had great water views and balcony. For a place that sleeps 8 there were only 2 teaspoons. The door handle on the main bedroom is falling off but otherwise we had a great stay. Easy walking to restaurants and shops. Will come back again

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
Really close to the beach but was a little dirty. There is a window between two bedrooms that need a curtain otherwise when one room has a light on the other is really bright. The bathroom fans are all connected so if someone turns on a fan in the toilet, the whole place can hear a loud fan. That was really annoying late at night. Linen is NOT provided and First National was not happy about providing linen and as such gave me one less set meaning the first night I had to sleep under a donna cover that was essentially dirty. That was really disappointing. I dont think they managed the property very well. There is no hair dryer either and the cushions in the lounge room were outdoor cushions and really uncomfortable. It was a great place to stay though. The walls are thin so you can hear almost every conversation from upstairs.

Great location!
Pros: The location: was so good to walk to dinner and the shops. Teens could come and go and we could watch them on the beach from the balcony. The view: It was lovely sitting on the balcony looking out on the water and pier, very relaxing. This was my favourite thing about the apartment Apartment: Was clean enough, suited 2 families quite well. Cons: Noisy inside Apartment, could do with either carpet or some rugs to help with acoustics. Some of the chairs outside you couldn't sit on as they were worn. Not a major issue as there were bench seats A curtain on the connecting windows between the bunk room and queen room would be great as it's quite bright when people in Queen room are trying to sleep. Overall these were just some additional features that would be great but will not stop us from staying there again. The view and location make this a great place to stay.

Dissappointed at condition
Property is in a nice location - but it was smelly(unaired) and dirty: floor in living room unswept - dirt in the corners etc. The stove top was uncleaned. The dishwashing brush was filty - seemed it had been used to clean a BBQ. The outdoor furniture was very dirty - hadnt been cleaned in weeks. For the price I would have expected a much better effort to clean and present the property. I would not recommend this property to anyone.

Great location
Great location, neat and tidy with 1990s fit out. Overall a positive experience just a couple of things to be aware of: 1. Could sleep up to 8, though Bedroom 3 with the 4 bunks in it was a bit strange - no real window, except a high one that took light via Bedroom 2. 2. The whole apartment. was noisy like the sound all around us (in and out) was amplified - does not seem to be well sound proofed.
