    Cleanliness of the balcony; ceiling, walls, aircon unit was way below standard, not to say unacceptable. Mould all over the place, very unhealthy.

    No complaints about property. We are repeat visitors.

    Location is great with access to Gorge walk and food and coffee if open. Ocean view great for whale spotting.

    The earthquake on Saturday ;). Seriously, everything was great, I cannot think of anything.

    The unit was spotless, beautifully decorated but still functional with everything we needed. We had stayed in the complex before and it is our favourite location: close to shops, the beach and the gorge walk. We had a picture postcard view of the beach from the balcony. Perfect weekend!

    There’s nothing they could have improved on it was perfect.

    The hosts were absolutely amazing and went above and beyond to make sure we had a more than comfortable stay. The decor was so beachy and relaxing that we instantly went into holiday mode. The comfiest beds too and also a fantastic location to access the beautiful beaches and whale sightings.

Brilliant people, brilliant building, and a location to die for.

    The apartments are individually owned so are personally styled and furnished. There was a few too many trinkets around the apartment and we did have to move some to find places to put our things. There wasn't a space in the kitchen to put our food items.

    Wonderful location and amazing ocean view. Our apartment was a great size for a family of 4, clean and the facilities were great. The kitchen was well stocked for cooking. The managers of the property were so friendly and very helpful if you have any issues are would like some local recommendations. There was a last minute issue with our booking that they went above and beyond to resolve for us!

    Dinner options are limited as far as dining out. The surf club was good, free pool table, stunning view but had a very limited menu. The fish and chip shop closed at 4pm.

    Loved the location, the view is spectacular and being able to see the whales splashing from the accommodation was amazing. So many whales! We loved every second of our stay here. Lisa and Matt were friendly and helpful. Lisa even drove us down to the shop and back to get some groceries. Above and beyond, thank you!
