Great location for girls shopping trip, easy walk to city shopping and Cafes. House was clean and well appointed. A nice outdoor area to enjoy happy hour.
Our stay was very pleasant. It was clean, comfortable and the kitchen is well appointed - everything you could need. It’s only a short walk to the CBD, cafes and restaurants. Would recommend it.

The property was immaculate, spacious and the kitchen was well stocked. It is perfectly located to access the walks along the river, the restaurants and shops in the CBD or just sit in the backyard enjoying a spring day.

Great stay with everything you need.
Enjoyed 2 nights at Salisbury Apartment 1. Good location, near botanical gardens and not far from the main city area. Parking also available on site which we used. Lots of brochures available with suggestions on things to do. Would like to have had a few more suggestions on really good cafes and restaurants. Overall perfect for what we wanted.
