The unit is centrally located really central. A quick few minute walk to a playground with the kids and the beach. Lots of little cafes and takeaway for food and a Coles about 2km down the road. For anyone looking for exercise the local parkrun starts at the park down the road.

Reviewer Comments:
Cannot give a definitive review of this property as we were barely in the property 4hrs. My wife has a medical condition that requires wifi to monitor her medical equipment. Unfortunately there was no wifi in the property and no mention of it in the property description. We ended up having to pack up and return home. On a positive note the key pick up was easy and the people very helpful. On first glance the property was clean and tidy. A very disappointing adventure as SWR is a beautiful destination.

Reviewer Comments:
Summer mornings at the beach and park, middle of the day recovery and rest and epic afternoons exploring! Air conditioning provided some relief from the heat. Would love to see that option available for the evenings upstairs, however the fans provided and the sound of the waves crashing works too! Smokers in the surrounding units did impact the ability to keep windows open upstairs. Would love it if the units could be a smoke free zone, but recognise that maybe out of your control. Hoping to stay here again next year!!

Upon entry we found a very neat, clean and presentable holiday apartment for our stay and it was a great start to our week. A fully equipped holiday apartment with a very central location with easy walk to restaurants, beach and small supermarket as advertised. It is only a short drive to larger IGA or Coles supermarkets. Good communication with agent from booking date. I have been to SWR many times but not stayed in this area so gave a different view to the town. Lock up garage a plus but low door meant I had to dismantle roof carrier on car. Only item missing in kitchen was a steamer for vegetables on saucepan. We made two day trips north to Coffs Harbour and towns in between and found Clog Barn at Coffs great, the Butterfly Farm and dinosaur exhibit near Sawtell definitely worth a visit and boardwalk at Urunga a must do. Excellent dining at Clog Barn, Butterfly Farm and Chinese restaurant at Nambucca Heads. Chinese restaurant at SWR was an easy two minute walk and has great food and service, found the fish and chips or the Bakery close by a good lunch. It is an easy five minute walk to Horseshoe Bay beach or small creek near property and safe for families to enjoy the water. I am certainly recommending this property to family and friends as we had a great time. We plan to return.
