Location is excellent. Honesty box room is brilliant. Nothing wrong with our room. I'd stay here again.

Lovely top floor large 2 bedroom unit, which could easily be turned into 3 bedroom by converting loungeroom into 3rd bedroom. We didn't use loungeroom as we couldn't work out how to use Netflix (no free to air tv either) whereas both TV's in bedrooms were easy to access Netlix & also free to air tv. Extra space in hallway would be better used as a small loungeroom. Beds all very comfy, as were pillows & lovely linens. Also blinds & curtains were all very good quality & worked well. Nice kitchen, but nowhere to hang teatowels & all the little wooden cutlery boxes were fiddly... cutlery drawer would be better or at least put labels on boxes. There was a microwave, but would have been better to have a convection oven/microwave, as there's no oven or cooking facilities other than microwave. Nice large shared bathroom, but again not enough towel rails & the shower cubicle needs a shower caddy as there was nowhere to put soap, shampoo etc. Massive balcony with a tiny table & 2 seats. A large outdoor table & more seats would be good. Lovely views from balcony but a pity only 2 of us could sit out there. Also the balcony's wooden floor needs attention (holes, splits etc.). Washing machine was a little hard to figure out how to use & the dryer took forever to dry not many clothes. Unit is in a fabulous position, just a few minutes walk from centre of town & all important sites.
