Great location but an older apartment complex. We had several rooms booked in our group and 2 of them were great. Unfortunately the other one had a musky damp smell - this room Definitely needs an update

Thank you for your feedback. Unfortunately I am not sure which apartments you are describing however none of our rooms are damp. Yes some have different smells but that's the tropics. Hope you enjoyed your stay.

Great relaxing stay
These apartments are in an idea location. It is an easy walk to the beach and down Macrossan street to all the shops and restaurants. Our apartment was very spacious and very well kept. Would definitely recommend this to all visitors.

Well managed apartments in great location.
Stayed here for 10 nights, very good location close to town and beach. The apartments were well managed by Lynette and Andrew who were very helpful and endeavour to please all guests young and old for an enjoyable stay, which must be very difficult. Very spacious apartments we stayed at number 6, the only fault being vented doors to bedrooms and bathroom which are fitted to support the function of the air conditioning. The provision of the vented doors allows all noise to be heard throughout the apartment. Would definitely stay again.

Thank you David. We acknowledge the position with the doors. Some owners have had the backs filled in which seems to be the way to go. Great to know you enjoyed your stay and hopefully the remainder of your stay in Australia.

Perfect location! Steps away from 4-mile beach and close enough to main street to easily walk to any store/restaurant but not so close to be bothered by other tourist. Property managers are awesome! Very nice and friendly. Had lots of information about local attractions. Would definitely stay here again.
