Clean room. Spacious and comfortable with everything needed for independent stay and close to all areas of interest. The beach next to the apartments is gorgeous ! The owners are so friendly and helpful and have set up a beautiful outdoor area with a water feature for a relaxing area to sit. Loads of books , board games etc. will definitely stay there again !!

The unit was neat and tidy just a little dated. There were all the kitchen utensils required and it was quite comfortable in the unit. Whilst there is noise from bin emptying, building construction in the surrounding area and a public tennis court next door it is just suburban background noise so it is relatively peaceful. The pool is quite pleasant for a dip. The unit block surrounds are well set up with shaded areas to relax, hang washing and shaded car parking. The manager was very helpful and knowledgeable.

Spacious, clean apartment with everything you need in the kitchen, comfortable bed and in great location, 2 min walk from the beach ( and a bus stop if you don’t have a car and need to go shopping) There is a small swimming pooll, too. Linda is lovely and very accommodating. It's not a luxury apartment but exactly what I was after. Thank you and I would stay there again
