    Pleasant spacious room, lovely renovations and a comfy bed!

    Very spacious apartment, freshly and tastefully renovated. Very comfortable mattress but oddly, no top sheet, only a doona on top. Check in/out was easy and convenient with clear, timely communication. The expansive front windows provide a lovely sea view but make the room very light all night, even with the blinds down, due to outside lights and morning sun. You have to have the blinds down also for privacy as the room is on a busy street corner. Parking was not ideal. Overall I appreciated the decor, cleanliness, space and comfy bed but unfortunately didn’t sleep well because of the windows/light.

    Location between two roads and railtrack wasnt great. Very hard to get room dark with street lights beaming into the room.

    Beautifully appointed and spacious with great bed and bathroom. Views of the beach and sunrise was incredible.

    About my only complaint was I found the 'lounge' chairs uncomfortable. Car parking could have been better.

    I loved the area the property was in and the close proximity to the town within being in the hustle and bustle of the town. The room was cosy but had everything I needed.

    There is a train line that runs close to the apartments and the warning bells are fairly noisy but it's only once or twice a day and sometimes at around midnight - not a major issue.

    We rented apartments 1 & 2 for three nights in December 2024. Both apartments are stylish, well-equipped and have heat pumps/air-con and very comfortable electrically adjustable beds. Apartment 1 has an accessible shower and toilet. Large non-opening glass windows give lovely views of the Bass Straight. Anna is a lovely host who is quick to respond and very helpful.

    Closeness to a complicated road intersection. But, saying that, I thought repurposing an old shop was brilliant and done well. No windows that opened were understandable, but the room gets stuffy with the sun beating in on full windows. Air conditioning helps. Two keys would have been more handy.

    The view, location to beach. Appreciated the double glazed windows that kept traffic noise to a minimum. Binoculars were a great idea to watch boats and ferries sail by.

    There no reception. Contact is via email/text. Wasn't clear where parking was at start - looked like belonged to adjacent 'business' - no signage. Noticed during stay previous occupier of room had covered smoke alarm with plastic - couldn't get hold property owner that night to check if we should remove or there for a reason. Owner subsequently contacted us and was very apologetic and going to sort. Happy with their response to issue and confident they will be very proactive in checking this in the future.

    Great room, modern and clean. Would stay there again.

    The accommodation was very nice, comfortable and very wheelchair friendly. Nothing to fault about the accommodation but found the access to the boulevard a bit difficult. No were to cross the road safely.
