Short family holiday

Property was better than we imagined. Views were amazing from the bedroom, lounge & the balcony. Quiet place to watch nature, take long walks, delicious seafood at Whalers & excellent woodfired pizza place nearby. Dog was welcome!

We have visited several times so we knew what to expect, especially the stunning views. This time maybe because we are older, we did notice a few less than optimum issues. The tv is connected to an elderly dvd player and is quite tricky to use. Tv itself is older technology, only worked when turned off and on at the wall several times, indicating perhaps electrical issues?. The two seater sofa is very uncomfortable and big enough really for only one person. The alternate cane chairs are unusable. Disappointingly, both bedside table lamps are dead, either needing new batteries or have worn out. There were no batteries in the premises, there are no lamps at all in the second bedroom. The carpet in the lounge is very dirty. These are all issues which concern our age group (67-72years) but if this is your target market then a new tv, some good quality second hand furniture, a rug and bedside lamps would do it. Kind regards, Lynne and Ray

Encounter Bay

We have stayed here before many years ago. It's had a major renovation since and it was all good. A nice, quiet property amongst a a group of others that were also very quiet. Good resturants nearby and good walking tracks along the seaside, a good relaxing stay was had by both of us.

Million $ view

We have stayed in this apartment block many times over the years but grabbed this one as it was a rare pet friendly find. The views are in our opinion second to none in the whole region. No 19 is on top floor, has a gorgeous balcony, renovated kitchen and bathroom and was spotlessly clean. Very well provided with all the amenities and perfect for a couple. Loved it so much we have rebooked for February.

Cleanliness

Disappointed with cleanliness. We had to spray behind curtains in bedroom and living area as well as behind the bed as there were many cobwebs. I also dusted the main wall as there were webs hanging down from ceiling and pictures. We had very strict time instructions for pickup and drop off of the keys - with an explanation that the cleaners work to time lines. The overall unit was fine, however there were many cobwebs which indicated that nobody had been there for some time.

Apologies for the cobwebs, we have followed up with our cleaners to assure this does not happen again.
