"Excellent property and place to stay. We had a Studio appt with a laundry next door for use of guests which was excellent as we refreshed our clothes. The washing machine and dryer were new and modern. Washing powder available at reception but we bought washing powder sheets at Woolworths half price on sale and easy to travel with.
