Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication
Needed to make up beds, not enough towels to cover what be booked for. Dishes were dirty when already packed away, outdoor area dirty look like it wasn’t cleaned for weeks. Inside apartment wasn’t vacuum before we arrived. For the money we paid wasn’t good enough.

Dirty upon arrival

Whilst this apartment was a great location and good size, it was very unclean upon arrival. There was sand on the beds, all over the floor, and the floor was sticky and oily which was not ideal with a 1 year old crawling around. I tried to vacuum and mop the floors, but the vacuum was blocked and the mop was filthy. The coffee table and other furniture had not been wiped down and had coffee stains and dust all over them. There were incorrect sheet sizes left for the bed and the bed was very uncomfortable. Disappointing when you are paying a decent amount of money for accommodation. Definitely would not recommend.

Great location

Stayed at this property for a week with our young family. Apartment has all the desired amenities including BBQ, Wifi, Netflix, dryer. We had family in a couple of the other apartments in the building that did not have these things. Location is great; across the road from the Shoal Bay village and easy walking access to beach. One of only two negatives is the intermittent vibration noise the air-con makes whenever it is on. This also happens in the other apartments with reverse cycle so it must be a building-wide issue. If you love the air-con being on alot or overnight, choose an apt with ducted; my parents had a top floor apartment with ducted air con. The other negative is that the managing agent charges extra if you want the beds made up. I think this is a minimum standard when you are dropping a couple of grand for a week's accommodation. They should review this to remain competitive.

Location

Great location, close to all amenities. Very clean and tidy. Only downfall was noise emanating from air conditioner. We contacted agent and informed them of the issue however agent failed to rectify or provide any feedback.
