Thank you for your lovely feedback! We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed the first-class unit and were happy with the service when you experienced an issue with the door. We appreciate your understanding and are glad our team could assist. We’d love to welcome you back again! - BOM Team
Check in was brilliant - opposite ferry and next to IGA so we got groceries and then they delivered us to apartment. Apartment as per photos in fact I think it was a bit better than photos - older place but all we needed. Sitting out front watching world go by - right on road but not overly busy and beach just over the road. 850 metres to pub and or bus stop just opposite. We had lovely 4 nights there.
