The host was very nice to talk to and allowed us to check in early when we asked. The whole unit is clean, and the kitchen and dining room have a great water view.However, the stove needs clear instructions. We couldn’t work out how to turn it on, and after we finally did, we couldn’t turn it off, so we had to switch off the main power.The bedding also needs updating. The sheets in both rooms were very old, and the main bedroom sheets were yellow.More toilet paper and dishwasher tablets should be provided. For a two‑night stay, we only had one tablet.

Ashleigh T., Sydney Australia

The best thing about this trip was the unit location and the view. The beds were comfy, and the coffee machine was good.The television didn’t work, the lamps didn’t work, the bunk bed in the second room is very close to the fan so that’s a little bit of an issue for a child for safety.

Greg was very accommodating (pun intended) when we contacted him with an issue regarding the security of our bikes. He communicated well and resolved our issue quickly and effectively. The location of the apartment was fantastic, right on the waterfront and close to all amenities. The apartment had everything we needed for a comfortable stay.

Perfect location with views

This is one of those genuinely great places. It is great location, easy stroll to shops and dining. Can just sit and watch the view all day. The apartment its self is very well equipped with everything you need. I contacted the owner for something when we first arrived and response was very quick which is also comforting. Overall a great stay which I would not hesitate to book again.
