View amazing! Shame the property hasn’t been kept up to a standard this view, location and price deserves! Very tired property, unusual smells in the apartment, dirty towel still hanging on back of bathroom door, food in the fridge, the dishwasher had been sitting wet with the door shut, not much to say about the staff
This property was older than it looked in the photos and the bedding was a blanket not a doona cover as pictured in some of the pictures. The location was exceptional with a view onto the beach from our balcony so we could see sunrise. The apartment was spacious and had washer dryer facilities but again was on the older side. The garage parking also wasn't super convenient. But the location and veil were really key selling points!

Amazing views and a great beach and pools.
Close walk to lots of dining options.
Apartments are a little dated and more parking for higher vehicles in the property would be good.
