There are road works which have apparently been there for 2 years directly in front of the unit which spoil the view. As these are long term, I believe they should have been mentioned. The kitchen is tired and the cupboards need refurbishing - currently the veneer is held together with sticky tape. Having said all that the view is great (once you overlook the roadworks), the area quiet and we had a lovely holiday.

Thank you for the review Anna, we are glad you loved the quietness and the view. Regarding the fencing along the proposed footpath that was in process of being constructed, this has paused due to unforeseen circumstances with the local Shire. We anticipate the removal of this shortly. Thank you for your feedback regarding the cupboards, we are looking into this.

Great view from the large windows. Handy to have a washing machine and a clothes horse for drying. Unfortunately the dishwasher is still not working, though. Overall, a very nice place to spend a couple of days.

A Top Deck.

We enjoyed our stay as the views were amazing. We expected a better TV and a dishwasher that worked. Kitchen and bathroom a bit dated.

Still pretty good, though a few things not as good as previously.

I love this place, though the broken dishwasher, window opener and TV remote were a bit annoying; they were working when we've been there in the past.

Thanks Chris! Its great to head you had a nice stay- Thank you for your patience with the dishwasher, unfortunately it is taking a little while for us to find a suitable replacement. We are unaware that there are issues with the window opener and tv remote, therefore we will look into this further.

Clean, comfortable, well appointed, roomy, every need accounted for, private, light filled and a gorgeous view. More comfortable seating on balcony would be enjoyed in goos weather. A bit windy when we were there. We were comfortably able to enjoy the view from inside but we love to sit outside whenever possible.
