Reviews of Parkyn Place 6

Parkyn Place 6 was rather a disappointment. The apartment is getting old and had several issues for us, although, as advertised, the views from some of the windows are great. The building was half enclosed top-to-bottom in a blue webbed covering over trestles, blocking out half the windows in the unit. The front entry looks derelict and uncared for. After we had paid for and registered with driver’s license and credit card (no cancellation allowed), we were informed that there was no underground parking as advertised, nor any parking adjacent to the building and we would have to access an underground carpark in the second building along the street. We were warned a few days before arriving that the trestles were supposed to be removed starting on 6 May (did not eventuate), but we were never informed that half our windows would be blocked out with blue webbing on the trestles. The kitchen had an amazing supply of cooking gear, the appliances worked well, although there was a constant leak in the kitchen sink tap. Coffee/tea-making facilities were advertised, but these turned out to be a few packets of instant coffee and teabags, along with an old Moka-pot coffee maker, encrusted and burnt as if it had been in a campfire. The fridge worked well, though the door was scratched and worn. The living and dining room furniture were great. The beds were a bit lumpy in the second bedroom, and the floors quite dusty behind some of the furniture. Plenty of cleaning supplies, books and games for kids and adults. The balcony was surrounded with blue webbing and trestles, empty except for a second refrigerator. The balcony furniture was stored outside the wall on a 6th floor trestle. The balcony door was mishung and could not be locked. Outdoors, the advertised swimming pool and terrace were unavailable due to trestles. Overall, this apartment did not meet our expectations nor was it accurately advertised on Booking.com.

Location was great next to beach and near wharf area . Views were the best

Car parking underground was difficult . No aircon . 10 am check out non flexible . Cleaner took hours doing the windows when it was a 30 minute job.

The view out the windows was inspiring. I love how you can see the beach out one side and the marina out the other side.

Nil,

Without a doubt it was the location...and also the space it provided us

The garage space was very poor...and on street parking unavailable at night time.

Loved the position and the views were awesome

Great location, incredible views. One key fob, easy access to everything - car park, lift, apartment and pool.

No air conditioning. This was my misunderstanding, but I'm not sure I would have booked this place if I'd realised. It was 36 degrees on Friday and the apartment was boiling. There is a strong breeze with the windows open, but that only helps so much in the peak of Queensland summer. We just spent as much time out of the apartment as we could during the day.

stunning view great location

The location was perfect 50m from the beach, and for Triathletes it was 150m from the transition zone! The view was jaw dropping.

The styling was a little old fashioned and the parking wasn't the greatest the landcruiser was significantly too tool for the garage I would assuming cars over 1.9 would be tight.
