Very good

This is our go to place at Maggie. Located right next to the marina and supermarket. Views of the bay is absolutely stunning and the apartment is spacious with all the amenities of being home.
We really enjoyed our stay in a ocean view room at the Mecure - such a beautiful view of the water and rock wallabies
Stunning view of the ocean from the gym (very basic but adequate), pool & spa areas
Excellent location close to IGA
Lovely location and views, rooms a little outdated. No restaurant or cafe onsite. Great being walking distance to ferry and buses.
