The apartment was comfortable and clean enough (the balcony, garage, and backyard were not clean), and it had everything we needed to enjoy. The location was perfect, very close to the beach and bush walk but away enough to have privacy and quietness.

The property was beautifully presented and accurately represented in the advertisement. However, there were several areas that were not clean and appeared to require maintenance, particularly the downstairs toilet and the backyard.There were also some inconsistencies with the cleaning. For example, soap was provided in the downstairs bathroom but not upstairs. The downstairs toilet appeared to have been professionally cleaned, while the upstairs toilet did not appear to have received the same level of attention. The property also had quite a lot of dust, and the dishwasher, cutlery and toaster were not clean, which gave the impression that the property had not been thoroughly cleaned prior to our arrival.There was a mop and bucket provided, but the mop was broken and rusty, meaning there was no usable mop available to clean up during our stay. I also expected some basic amenities to be provided, such as rubbish bags, tea, coffee, extra toilet paper, a tissue box, and a coffee-making machine. As we were required to empty all the bins, having rubbish bags available would have been particularly helpful. We had to purchase these basic items ourselves.Overall, while the property itself was attractive and well represented in the advertisement, the cleanliness, maintenance, and lack of basic amenities brought the experience down. Overall, I would rate the stay as average.
