An OK stay
We booked a garden studio and were a bit disappointed to be backing onto the laundry and as such our bathroom smelt a bit fusty. Our outside space was also disappointing as there was a bench perched on uneven slabs so was not level and not really user friendly. The corner bath with shower over was a bit precarious to get into without a proper handrail to grab or curtain around either and the shower head was too low for me being 6ft. Overall we thought the place was a little tired and in need of an upgrade. Great addition of access to the pool.

Ok for 1 night but could be better
Serves it's purpose for a short 1 night stopover. The room is dark and there is very little privacy if the curtains are not drawn since the room was very exposed to the general carpark and staircase. Lack of counter space and hooks in the bathroom. Stains on bathroom wall.

The upgrade to a 1 bedroom apartment was much appreciated and was clean and comfortable. The pool was excellent, but the fridge has a bad vibration which was noisy during the night.

Great location and a generous size.
Very close to the main shopping street, a big supermarket and the rugby ground. Parking was always easy and access to the room was up an external flight of steps and along an outside walkway. There are also ground floor apartments with easier access. The room was particularly generous with plenty of space despite a king size bed. The small separate kitchen had all we needed (microwave, sink, cook top, plates and cutlery) and the separate bathroom was also generous. We didn't use the pool but it looked to be a decent size and sheltered.

Clean, comfy & great location.
Family group of 5 with adult children enjoyed our stay. Clean & comfy with ample space. We were upgraded to a 2 bedroom apartment which was ideal. We were able to check in an hour earlier when we arrived to park the car. It is an easy walk to CBD and lovely walking tracks around the river/creek. Management staff very welcoming & easy to talk to. Close to main roads, but no traffic noise at night. We enjoyed our stay & highly recommend.
