Great Apartments.

We spent a week in a great studio unit overlooking the 3 pools . Great to sit out on our balcony in the evening , enjoying a wine . We loved being on the 2nd floor apart from my poor husband carting our heavy cases up and down . I should have packed less for our 3 week holiday in Australia . Very handy to town centre and the mall . We would stay here again and have lighter luggage .

Nice but getting tired

Drift is an affordable apartment block but definitely showing signs of ageing. We stayed in a 2 bed executive apartment which was great for young kids. Just a long walk to the pool. Would recommend but lower your expectations a little. $10 per night cot fee too
