Property’s tidy and nice but the overall cleanliness is terrible.
Property’s tidy and nice but the overall cleanliness is terrible. Floor has foot stain/ watermarks and sticky. Rooftop is terribly dirty, floor is so dirty, benchtop and outdoor tables full of thick dust. Kitchen cutleries (supposed to be ready to use) have food marks/stains like butter on the knives and spoons. Toilet on the ensuite has smear We need to clean everything before we enjoyed using the property. However, bed was already made and the location of the property is exceptional. Lucky we are able to use the jacuzzi too. Please improve your cleaning of the property as guest expects high as you claimed it to be a luxury apartment stay.

Very disappointing as very unclean apartment !
Difficult to access key from container. Apartment very dirty. Couldn’t use outdoor areas as filthy. Couldn’t use spa as full of sand and hair. Would not even attempt to use the Bbq ! Mould in both showers. Microwave full of exploded cheese and smelt so bad. And had not been cleaned ! Lounge room pillows had stains on them and lots of sand in the lounge. We had to buy our own cleaning products to clean, so we actually felt ok to stay here. Dishwasher drawer is broken. Trucks every morning at 6.30 collecting garbage outside bedroom doors. I could go on ... obviously very disappointed with this property for the price we have paid.

Location is beautiful and very central!
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The property was clean if you don’t look to hard, there was a lot of dirt that I wouldn’t expect in a holiday home. Outside hot tub and outdoor area is beautiful. The beds and pillows are very uncomfortable, I would suggest bringing your own pillows if you’re fussed! The lounge inside was an outside lounge and was very uncomfortable, making it very hard to relax at the end of the day in my opinion. The property overall is very beautiful.I would suggest some more maintenance with cleaning as well as dishes, be warned the dishwasher doesn’t work properly either!

Great Location
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall our experience was great. The location is fabulous. The accommodation itself was ample although felt a little underwhelming. It would have been great to have a top sheet on the bed, the blanket was too small for the QB and too hot to have on during our stay.

Perfect location
Great family friendly apartment in a perfect location and outdoor bbq area is a real plus. Suggestions for improvement: Didn’t like the idea of having to place bed sheets ourselves, this is the last thing you want to do after checking in. Would also recommend the tenant provide some basic cleaning supplies so you don’t have to buy it all. Overall great place and would book again.

Great location.
My husband and I stayed here for a couple days in March and the location was amazing , right opposite the beach. Plenty of places to eat out and lots of interesting shops. The apartment was beautiful, comfortable with everything you need and the rooftop balcony with spa was the perfect place to relax at the end of the day .
