Have stayed here twice while visiting family. Nice place. It is by the train station so there is early morning train and bus noise. Views are wonderful and its walkable to the jetty and the beach.
We had an amazing stay here.
We only booked online quite late and the reception was already closed. The communication between the host to give us access was amazing, all done within 10 minutes of us arriving.
The room was fantastic, the view was beautiful.
The kitchen had everything we needed to cook a lovely meal, we had been on the road for a couple of days so to be able to cook was fantastic.
Loved it - Highly recommend.
We stayed in a park view apartment, but we did have some limited ocean views.
After hours check in was super easy and the instructions were really clear.
The apartment was really clean and a great size. It was easy walking distance to the Jetty and beach.
Loved that they donate to a local charity through the 10c return and earn,

I loved how simplistic this place was. If we had more time, we would have spent a longer time here. Excellent front desk staff, parking was super easy, and the condo itself was clean. Super easy to walk over to the grocery store, bakery, or pub. Enjoyed!
