“Oasis for a getaway with an amazing view”
The views were amazing, the communication with staff the staff was amazing and friendly. When I had an issue they were understanding and helped me - that’s the true customer experience you want that keeps you wanting to come back and refer you to friends and family. The rooms were neatly presented. Added bonus of 3 toilets (not that I needed it) and a laundry facility. It was a pleasure staying there. Honestly the team should be commended for their excellence in customer service and support!!!!

“A must stay apartment with all the trimmings in a great location!”
An absolutely amazing apartment with beautiful view of the harbour and city. This was an excellent choice for five guests, we had our three children with us and they were smitten and right at home as soon as we stepped inside the door. No detail or thought was spared - there were staple food items in the pantry, bathroom amenities, washing powder, toys and swim equipment. The apartment was immaculately clean and decorated with such taste. The location is perfect too, walking distance from all activities and shopping areas. Thank you for a lovely stay!
