Can park outside the unit. Cleaning done daily if required and just ask friendly staff for restocking of any consumables. Sky TV especially if any sports events on.

Thankyou so much for the 5 star review. It is super close to our beach and liked by our surfers and swimmers or walkers that want to go along the promenade

Parking was challenging given the number and location of available bays but given we were in a hire car we drove carefully to get in and out of the tight spaces.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback about the parking situation during your recent visit. We appreciate your understanding of the challenges presented by the number and location of available parking bays, as well as your careful driving in the tight spaces.Unfortunately we don't have the luxury of space to remedy the size of the carparks but some carparks are easier than others.Let us know if you come back next time and we will try to accommodate a better parking space for you

people very nice and while the property was clean and tidy, was way over priced for the quality of the set up, no movies on sky, facilities from the 70s, reading light in bedroom on the wrong wall, TV seating not great

Lovely receptionist. The room was cold, the aircon/heater didn't work. Only had a small heater which only heated half the room. Not enough towels, only had 2 for the family of 5 people that stayed the night. I paid $280 for a cold room with insufficient heating. Not much parking space either. Will not be staying here again.

I am unsure why you didn't come and ask at reception too show you how to turn the aircon on as the Aircon is on perfect working order. Perhaps you are unaware that the aircon was on the dry setting. As far as the towels goes we put towels in the bathroom cupboard to cater for larger bookings so I am sorry you didn't manage to find them either. Communication is important and we would have been very happy to help you with these issues. Parking here is at a premium so only one carpark per unit.
