It is common in the region for some linen to be provided for bookings, and some linen to be available as an optional extra. By default, a booking at this home does not include optional linen (top & bottom sheets, bath towels and pillowcases). What is included are doonas (quilts) with covers, pillows without covers, tea towels, hand towels and bathmats. If you would like the optional linen included in your booking, please let us know, including which beds you would like it provided for. The additional cost would be a one-off charge of $30 per bed (some sites add a service fee to these costs) - and we prefer 7 days' notice prior to your arrival to get that arranged.

Terrific apartment
This is an absolutely terrific apartment in a really good location. I honestly couldn't fault it. The only criticism would be that the location of the car park is a bit of a walk from the actual apartment, so getting all the gear up and down for a toddler was a bit of a challenge. A part from this, the apartment was terrific. Plenty of space and we'll appointed.

Apartment Great, Complex Manager Nightmare
The apartment itself is very well appointed, 2 x balconies, loads of space and we had 7 people. Beds and lounge comfortable, Kitchen with everything in it, full size fridge, pantry etc. 2 x showers, 1 x spa bath, 2 x toilets so no waiting around for the bathroom. Ample technology with multiple TV's, dvd, bluetooth speaker, games for the family, cool artworks, overall really liked the apartment. Beach was good, Food eateries were good, brewery was really good, ice cream parlor delicious, walks along the front promenade were relaxing with a handful of rabbits running around, green grass to sit and enjoy. The issue we had was with the under cover parking allocation that was supposed to be with the apartment. Upon arrival we noticed a woman spray painting the lines of a couple of parking spaces in a different colour paint and she proceeded to tell us to park 200m away in a different underground carpark. We also noticed her taking down apartment numbers (in front of the parking spaces) and changing them to suit her needs. we then found out from her she not only worked there she owned several of the apartments herself and she hounded us to keep moving our vehicle, she even interrupted our Christmas Lunch looked at us, smiled and lied straight to our faces it was really unbelievable. There is obviously a racket going on as she was very comfortable telling porky pies, it was like she was happy causing us discomfort. If the owner of the apartment reads this I hope you can do something about the racket that's going on because it must be affecting your investment, we definately will NOT be back.

A Gem
The property is in a great location, the beach is virtually across the road and shops and restaurants are easily accessed by foot. The property is bright, modern, very well equipped and very spacious. We had a really enjoyable stay and we have no hesitation recommending the property to others.
