"Great location to walk into town down the road, overall neat, clean and tidy and my go to when I am travelling for work. Parking onsite too. Highly recommend."
"This was our fourth stay in these apartments, and we’ve always been very happy with the property, the location, and the staff. It’s close to all the essential shops and restaurants, which makes everything easy. Even this time, when we left three days earlier than planned, they kindly refunded two of those days, which we really appreciated. We’ll definitely book again for our next visit to Brisbane."
