Very friendly & helpful staff . The 2bedroom unit was in poor condition, mould on the ceiling of the bathroom, the oven still had crumbs & the icebox was unusable due to ice buildup.

Disliked: Staff & service
Never again!
From the get go there was next to none customer service. The managers were arguing as I arrived and carried on even after I rang the bell. I was not alone in hearing this as another guest told me they heard it too. When we got back from dinner there were 5 guests who could not get hold of anyone to give them their room. Other guests and myself helped them out by offering them beds in our rooms. I literally had 3 strangers sleeping in one of my bedrooms. The shower was clogged and didn’t drain away and the shower pressure was very low, hard to rinse hair out before the shower base overflowed. There was 1/2 roll of toilet paper with no spares. Overall an awful experience.

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.

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.
