Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The property provides a very well-laid-out, self-contained room over two levels, neat, with lots of cutlery, well-maintained, serviced daily. Water bottles provided, adequate milk, good food in the Bistro and only a short walk to the CBD and foreshore activities. Although located adjacent to Dan Murphy's and the Bistro carpark, noise was not an issue. The pool was a bonus.

Clean, very convenient location. Next door to a Dan Murphy's, pub and 7/11. Two storey layout is a bit inconvenient as had to go upstairs for main bedroom and bathroom, not a big deal for most but would be problematic if have any mobility issues. Some of the furniture was a bit old, and the dining table legs were crooked.
