Beautiful spot

We stayed on level 8 which had beautiful views of the sunrise, city and beach. Having the washing machine was fantastic. Unfortunately our lounge area only had see through shades on all the windows, no solid blinds! At night we had to keep the lights off. Cullen bay was beautiful and very convenient.
