    Weekend check-in is outside normal reception hours but wasn't given access details until requested, which could also just be part of process. Otherwise nothing we didn't like about our stay

    Great location, very spacious, clean, has everything you need for self-sufficient stay

    The fact that we did not meet the Managers once. Understand that Anzac Day was a Public Holiday but never saw any staff at all.l

    Close to Restaurants and Twin Towns and lovely walks to Kirra Beach

    Older bathrooms and kitchen, although still very clean and all appliances worked. Fan did not work in the main living area - think it may had needed replacement batteries in the remote.

    The unit was large and spacious. It was furnished with comfortable and stylish furniture. Wonderful facilities and very easy check in and check out procedure. 1 block from Rainbow Bay, close to shops and restaurants. Underground car parking. The large pool and spa area was a particular favourite of my children. Very secure and safe. Everyone we encountered in the building were extremely friendly. Very clear communication from the managers. We were sad to leave!

    It was difficult to make contact with reception as it was not open often & response to booking.com messages was a little slow, but they were helpful. Some of the fixtures in apartment we old ie; power point hanging out, fans looked like they would fall off, carpet a bit manky. There was no air con, which l obviously didn't read correctly. It was mostly fine with the sea breeze however at night it was really warm. It was super noisey as we had to leave doors open to get breeze through and there was a fair amount of traffic. Overall we liked staying there, but the addition of air conditioning would be great and just fixing up small things.

    Great location to Snapper Rocks. Great view of ocean. Short walk into Coolangatta, however being so close to it could not get an Uber when it was pouring rain & waited 45 minutes to get a cab/Uber to the airport on the date of departure. We finally got one with 13Cabs and would suggest using them. Uber came and left as he said he couldn't fit our bags in.

    Some things were not clean. The table was sticky and some of the utensils were a little dirty. Nothing bad and would not prevent me from staying there again.

    Staff were friendly and an easy check in process. Location was in a really good spot and the apartment was a good size.

    location was fantastic with ocean views. Everything in the accomodation, surrounding gardens and amenities was well looked after. The managers were great-friendly and helpful. On the last day our taxi to the airport didnt show up so the manager took us in his car. We appreciated this generous act and would highly recommend staying here.

    The cleaning of the apartment could have been a little better, there was hair in the shower drain and also the water in the hand basin was slow to drain. On inspection I found the drain plug blocking the water from escaping was congealed with matted hair and "gunk" in the drain hole.

    The apartment layout was good as was the location to the local area. The kitchen was functional, and the appliances were appropriate for us. The shower had good water flow and was a good size. The entire apartment was very comfortable.

    The toilets and bathrooms need a good renovation. The kitchen could use reno too. The pool is very small and not heated.

    It was a good value for the money, but the toilet and bathroom need a good reno. The apartment was clean. The location is good. 10 min walk from Aldi, Coles, restaurants, pharmacy... The Rainbow Bay is very close, 5 min walk, good for kids' boogie boarding...surfing and you can even swim when little pools are formed. Coolangatta is adorable.
