Perfect location on the quiet side of the Macrossan, right next-door to Four Miles Beach. Easy street parking (the on-site parking spaces were extremely tight). Lovely spacious apartment with plentiful amenities. The complex is very comfortable with pools, bubble baths and BBQs. We will be back for sure.

Ok short stay in circumstances

Checking in late, room was meant to be open but wasn't. Had to call emergency number and took a further 15-20 minutes to access room.

Cleanliness okay but some areas (particularly floors and balcony) wasn't well cleaned.

Due to emergency issues with water supply (we visited shortly after a cyclone and record flooding) we had no water for >24 hours. Thankfully we received government text, stocked own water and sorted. No communication from reception, no offer of help with water supply

Rooms overall were okay, could possibly use some modernisation (rooms/bathrooms we have weren't those in pictures). Master bedroom also had stairs leading up to bed meaning parents felt uncomfortable using that room and had to take twin

Overall reasonable value for money, good size room, nice pool area. Few reasonably small things noted above otherwise would rate higher

Great location, easy parking, good size apartment but just needed a good deep clean. For this time that we are living in with Covid, I feel that cleaning should have been to a higher standard. Light switches, walls and floor I don't believe have been cleaned for a while, there was a sign that read in the kitchen $25 cleaning fee if the dishes are found dirty. Well we washed the dishes before using them and soaked the red wine out of the glasses.

Older style Budget accommodation in great location

Location is excellent and reception was very welcoming and helpful. Property was very good price wise but easy to see why. The property is very old although our kitchen had recently had a makeover & looked new. The cleanliness was ok but we found mouldy chopstix in the top of the dishwasher and there was only 1 toilet roll for 3 people for 5 days & no dishwashing liquid so we ended up just buying our own. The knob for the fan in the 2nd br was broken and there was also no laundry liquid, not even a sachet, we didnt expect a whole container. The laundry trough cupboard was full of old paint tins as well. The room itself was very spacious and definitely suited our needs but I'm not sure we would stay here again. The other thing is the car park spaces are very hard to get in and out off, hence us scraping our car along one of the drainpipes trying to manouver out. So choose your space wisely or park out front deoending on size of your car its tricky.

Absolutely Perfect!

We stayed here for 6 nights (originally had 5 booked but ended up extending) in #12 which is a deluxe 2 bedroom/2 bathroom apartment and we absolutely loved everything about it! The location is PERFECT! Walking distance to everything. Less than 1 minute to the beach in one direction and less than 1 minute to the start of the shopping/eating area in the other. Grocery store a short walk and having a kitchen made it easy do meals. Washing machine and dryer was handy as we traveled with our family. The whole apartment was very clean. The pool was fantastic and there was a bbq by it so was nice to cook while the kids swam. Very quiet location and views were fantastic. Enjoyed having breakfast on the balcony every morning watching the sun come up over the beautiful greenery. Tom checked us in and he was great! Made it all very easy for us. Will definitely stay here again when we return to Pt. Douglas.

Manager more than helpful and great communication looking after us. Free WiFi and parking, you can hire bikes around the corner (500m) great rates and ride everywhere.

Nice aparment...some noise concerns

Very nice apartment in a great location. Steps from the beach, 5 minutes or less to the Surf Club, and right on the main shopping/restaurant street. Our apartment had laundry (washer&dryer), two bedrooms and two washrooms. Kitchen was reasonably well stocked with cutlery & plates, etc. Pools were nice.

We were there in the winter, so were sleeping with the windows open. The first night a neighbour below and beside our room was watching TV at unbelievably high volume with his patio door open...so loud that his TV was very loud in our apartment. Luckily he shut off the TV at 22:30 after American Idol finished. All three nights we were there, garbage or recycling trucks woke us up between 06:45 to 07:00 as they were picking up bins nearby. One morning (at 07:00) someone in a diesel Hilux ute parked under our bedroom window beside the recycling bins and left his truck idling for 20 minutes while he searched through the bins for bottles. So I do have to say that noise was a nuisance during our stay.

Other than the noise it was a nice apartment and I would stay there again.

Comfortable living space and well sited close to the beach and shops/cafes/restaurants. Light and airy room with a small balcony overlooking the pool. A bit noisy at night and early morning being on the main road but not too bad. The apartment was a bit tired and that led to it being not as clean as we would have liked. It was a bit low on crockery, cooking utensils, etc.
Overall I would recommend it for the position and price.

Pool was not clean- murky most days- small

Balcony fly screen door didn’t close properly so we had to shut the door instead of allowing fresh air in

Insufficient supply of bathroom supplies

Kitchen power wasn’t on, we were not informed how to turn on the power to use the stove and oven. We figured it out by not really necessary to start the rental with the power off

Ceiling fans were a blessing

Great location and spacious vs needs updating and

Unit 2. Self checked in due to being Good Friday. No worries. Room was spacious. Location was perfect to walk everywhere and price wasnt too bad.the kitchen had everything we needed. Dishwasher and washing machine were great.

What the unit did lack was a really good clean. The patio was dirty. There was mould on the lounge pillows (dusty and stained mould), stains on walls and blinds, dust and dirt on power points, skirting, behind doors. The ensuite toilet lid didnt stay up and kept falling down, which was annoying. The unit needs a good update or maintenance and a thorough clean.
