the perfect place if you're on a budget

The cost is a reflection of the condition, but if you spend most of your time outdoors and are seeking budget accommodation, this is the perfect place for you. We had a pleasant stay at Santana for the second consecutive year. Thanks to David for his hospitality.

Wouldn’t leave my animals there if it was a boarding kennel it was that horrible. Food left in oven, microwave had food all through it, mould all through bathroom, knives where not clean, all cupboards in bathroom had water damage, dirty clothes left in washing machine from previous guests, when I raised the issues with the lady from reception I was met with abuse and anger all in front of my 9 year old son. Left and found somewhere else to stay within a hour of getting there.

The hosts were easy to communicate with..the unit was in poor outdated condition…the fridge wasn’t cold, the freezer worked fine..the sink in the bathroom was almost falling out of the vanity, the bedroom door gets jammed, at one point we couldn’t open it… Convenient to shops and activities… If the complex was updated and modernised, it would b much better

BUYER BEWARE!! This listing was advertised in AUD then charged in USD the owner isn’t interested in discussing this. We’ve paid $140 more than expected then when we arrive at 2pm Easter Saturday then charged additional fees for ‘late check in’ when I queried this I was told because it’s a public holiday. Then to top things off we are given a room with 2 single beds put together instead of a queen bed that we booked. Very generous offerings in the bathroom, 1 tiny cake of soap and and 1 shampoo only. DO NOT STAY HERE!

It's in a good location but very dated. Our unit needs painting, new flooring, updated kitchen and bathroom. There were some cockroaches in the kitchen we had to kill. Shower was very tiny and the water was difficult to regulate between cold, warm and too hot. Complex was quiet though. The hot tub was not hot even though the manager said it was very warm. We didn't get in it. Carpark needs a good clean, had trash in some of the spaces. Just a very old, dated building but it was cheap to stay there. The Chinese manager charged me $10 for a late check in at 9.30 pm. First time ever for me to have to pay for later check in.

Room was very poor condition, stains on all of the bedding and covers, cupboards falling apart, bathtub stained, stains on the walls and around the apartment, needle in the cupboard. Everything was very substandard. Never posted a bad review like this before but apartment was just horrible. We took photos of everything when we got there out of shock. Manager never in office to speak with. Will never go back
