Spacious apartment for a family of 4 with the convenience of a washing machine and dryer. Coles and chemist was nearby. Our apartment faced the backpacker accommodation so it was fairy noisy till late, better to get the beach facing apartments. The nearby restaurants are mostly bars, the waterfront which is a short drive away had a big selection of cuisines.

Good location poor state of bathroom, mirror looka like it needs replacement as the surface if showing heavt wear resulting in flaking/desilvering in multiple spots. Also no spare blanket in the wardrobe, may be fine for tourists from South but bloody cold for a local even after havingturned the AC off on arrival.
