10/10 Excellent
"Property close to both bowling and golf clubs, and easy walk to town centre and waterfront. Plenty of parking and a lot of undercover parks. Good view from balcony. Downside was no hanging space for clothes, no exhaust fan in bathroom, no toilet brush. Overall, excellent value for money"
