Excellent sea view, spacious house and a lovely backyard. We had a wonderful encounter with the lorikeets — a real highlight!A couple of small things to note: the bedsheets weren't made up when we arrived, not sure if that was an oversight or if guests are expected to do it themselves. Toiletries were quite limited — only one set for a family of 4. A bath bomb or bubble bath for the tub would have been a nice bonus touch.Overall we had a great stay!

Smelt of vomit
Apartment smelt of vomit, agent did nothing after initial or subsequent complaint. You have to make the beds yourself with ill fiting sheets. Stained Duvet covers not washed. Human hair left on shower wall and bathroom floor.

Great location!
Location was great, close to the marina, grocery shopping, and the beach.
The apartment did welcome us with a strong smell of cleaning chemicals upon entering on the first day, no biggie though.
There was hair on the couches which we could have done without.
Loved the 2 car spots as well as the view from the porch. Would definitely stay again, if someone poisons the trees outside the bedrooms so those annoying loud magpies disappear and don't wake me every single morning.
