Lovely Apartment with a few issues

Check-in was easy but reception is not open Saturday - Sunday so any problems we had were difficult to solve as we were only staying the weekend and reception could only be contacted via a phone (no call outs). Apartment was huge and more than enough room with a modern design and finish and large bedrooms (We stayed in apartment A58). Some minor issues that didn't really impact our stay but rather took the gloss off a lovely place. Only about half of the light bulbs actually worked in the property and an AFL game we wanted to watch on Foxtel was not available as the satellite TV subscription had not been paid. Otherwise a nice and pleasant stay.
