The lovely staff made our family feel very welcome. The size of the apartment was great. Easy to walk to the jetty, train and very close to the local strip of restaurants. Could see the sea from the balcony and they had 2 tesla chargers free for guests .

We really appreciated the free upgrade to the spa suite with a gorgeous view of the harbour. It was within walking distance of the jetty and its activities as well as the coastal trail. The place was clean and quiet. Some of the fixtures were a bit worn but we understand that an upgrade is coming in 2025. We would definitely stay here again.

Great location, plenty of hospitality only walking distance away and only a couple minute's to jetty beach and breakwall. The minimum of disturbance is the country link which rolls in every couple hours. But never really noticed it to much.
