The apartment was great for our family. We have 2 kids under 10yo. It was a comfortable stay for all of us, the location was excellent - very close to the Supamart, cafes and restaurants and was quiet; didn't hear neighbours, in a quiet suburb. We had a great stay!
Location was perfect for restaurants on the foreshore. Apartment was clean & tidy, with essentials.Instructions to garbage area was a little confusing, had to ask another tenant in the building.Only part of initial booking, not happy with was being charged 136 cleaning fee. ??All in All Great stay

Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the convenient foreshore location and found the apartment clean, tidy, and well-equipped for your stay.
We appreciate your note about the garbage area instructions — we’ll review this to ensure the directions are clearer for future guests. Regarding the cleaning fee, this is a standard charge applied at booking to cover professional cleaning and preparation of the property before and after each stay.
Overall, we’re pleased to hear you had a great stay and hope to welcome you again in the future.
Great little apartment in a great location. Parking in locked up undercover area. Easy to pick up keys and drop off. Apartment is small, but had everything we needed. Communication was fantastic. Only downside - beds and couch were quite hard, also would be good to have better pillows. Other than that, would highly recommend!
The apartment was wonderful but the collections and return of the keys spoilt our stay. My sister and l have been travelling the world over the past 12 years staying in apartments but have never had to return a key and take a photo to prove the return. If you could just leave the key in the apartment we would recommend you to all our friends.

Thank you for your feedback and for your kind words about the apartment. We’re pleased to hear you found it wonderful overall.
Regarding the key collection and return process, this is part of our security and accountability procedures, which apply to all stays to ensure keys are safely tracked and the building remains secure for guests and residents. While we understand this differs from some other accommodations, the photo confirmation helps us maintain these standards consistently.
We appreciate your comments and hope to have the opportunity to host you again in the future.
Property was clean, well appointed, quiet, and close to many cafes and shopping. It was difficult for us in our 80s to find and manipulate the lock box. There must be a simpler solution. Management could not repair the smoke alarm nor sort out malfunctioning power points in the 5 days we were there.

Smoke Alarm – We regret that this could not be resolved during your stay. The issue has since been reported to our maintenance team and flagged for urgent repair.
Power Points – Our team has also logged this concern for inspection and resolution to ensure full functionality for upcoming guests.
Your comfort and safety are important to us, and we thank you for your patience. We hope to provide an even smoother experience if we have the opportunity to host you again.
