Our standard check-in time is 3 pm and check-out time is 10 am. We offer a complimentary early check-in or late check-out time as a gesture of goodwill where booking and housekeeping schedules allow. Note that due to demand and housekeeping pressures, no early check-ins or late check-outs will be granted during the months of December and January.

All complimentary early check-ins or late check-outs must be confirmed in writing so that our housekeeping team are informed accordingly.

Direct bookings require the booker to upload a copy of their driver’s licence and credit card through our encrypted online process.

EV Charging: For safety reasons and to comply with insurance requirements, guests are prohibited from charging electric vehicles at any property that does not have a dedicated EV charging station.

This deposit, held in our Trust Account, is refunded after the departure inspection, with any damage or loss deducted. The minimum cash deposit is $2000, with higher amounts for larger or more expensive properties, or at the owner’s/agent’s discretion.

Great property. Excellent location and amenities. Spacious and clean.
This is an amazing location and apartment. Large and well put together, but the bathroom needs an update, with a leaking shower and deep cleaning scratches around the toilet and basin. Also a booking for 4 needs more than 1 room key. Finally a 4pm check in is a bit late for the price.
But ultimately it’s still an incredible place to stay.

Immediate Vacate
The person staying in the next room made inappropriate complaints which shortened our stay. I would formally like to make a complaint about the stay.
I would like a refund of monies from a night we missed out on staying due to complaints against me and need to immediately leave the premises.
I am very unsatisfied with the complaints made against me in my stay and would like to take this further .

Great apartment and fantastic location
The apartment is fantastic. Very spacious with a glorious outdoor space. Opening the doors to the balcony let’s a beautiful sea breeze run through the apartment - however there is air-conditioning if you prefer. Check-in was easy and everything was as advertised. It is a great location. We could walk to everything that we needed.

unloved
One gets the impression that this is very much a serviced property rather than a cared for home where someone lives and pays attention to the details. It is over looked by the hotel so little privacy when out on the balcony. There was no internet so the Smart tv didn't fully function, the knives in the drawer were broken, the balcony area was dirty and there was no barbecue, I'm told that this is unheard of for Australia. The large lounger was also dirty and we didn't want to sit on it. The windows table and balustrades , unlike as they appeared sparkling in the picture, required a good clean . This was all very disappointing considering what we paid for the 16 day stay. We did report to the company and a broken curtain was fixed , we also requested a key for the bedroom door to the balcony but no response. These issues were fully reported to the management company and to date an acknowledgement for our feedback has not been received .

Three days here felt like ten days worth of holiday. The apartment was much larger than I expected from the listing, and the view was better than I expected. Wonderful to walk down to the ocean pool in front each morning for a swim. Would definitely recommend.

Lovely apartment in the perfect position. We stayed here with our two young children. Cannot fault the apartment. It was also nice and close to the Rockpool, close enough to walk to shops and the blowhole.
