Did not match images in stayz
Location was the best thing about this stay. Condition of property was poorly maintained. Furniture was damaged carpet had big visible stains. Couch was not vacuumed and found dirt under the cushions. Courtyard was unappealing to say the least and had rotting fence palings and leaf litter. Needed a complete makeover.

Excellent location!
Excellent location, across from the water; quick stroll to shops and restaurants. Unit is accessible and has good amenities with all necessary kitchen supplies, microwave, stove and oven, full sized fridge and freezer and dishwasher. Unit also has a washing machine in the bathroom, heated towel rack and hair dryer. The cleanliness of the unit was lacking in the kitchen, living area and water closet, but the beds were very clean. As other reviews mentioned this unit is in need of a refresh. Communication with property management was excellent; very prompt and effective. Check in and check out were also very easy.

Mid-Week at Penguin Mews
I like staying at Penguin Mews because of its location and ease of parking.
Yes it's getting a bit old now but it still offers the same sensational view of the lake so I can watch the tides come and go.
I'll be back, cheers
