Traveled with family and small children, Traveled with family
Very convenient location... only a short stroll to the seaside. Great having the 2 apartments for our family - giving everyone a bit of their own space as well as shared areas.
I would definitely book this again. Only downside was it was on a busy corner so there was quite a lot of traffic noise one of the nights we stayed.

Quick Getaway
We enjoyed the accommodation, just a note if you have a ute - the turnaround space is tight, and impossible if there is two vehicles.
