    “Beautiful hotel ”

    The location and facilities were satisfactory; however, the cleanliness of the room was disappointing. The doona insert had a noticeable blood stain, which is a concerning hygiene issue. Unfortunately, this was only discovered on the second night, limiting the opportunity to address it with the hotel promptly. Additionally, upon arrival, it was evident that the floors had not been thoroughly cleaned, as there was sand present in both the living room and bathroom shower floor. The hotel advised that a cleaner would attend the following day; however, it was unclear whether this occurred, as the condition of the floors did not appear to improve. As we typically remove our shoes indoors, this issue was particularly noticeable and uncomfortable. Overall, while the property has its strengths, the standard of cleanliness did not meet expectations.

    “Beautiful spot by the beach”

    The staff were amazing, free parking, bonus. Our apartment was clean but tired. Outdoor furniture sparse and uncomfortable. Beautiful view to the beach. All the venues close by served amazing food. Had a fabulous walk along the foreshore. Lovely beach for swimming. The price was indicative of the tired room so no surprises there. Such a beautiful part of the world. You must visit Shoal Bay.

    “Amazing”

    Initially when booking the photos didn't show the whole room, the room was very spacious, clean and affordable for last minute. When checking in staff was lovely and we got to check in about an hour earlier which was great! Hotel was on the main strip close to everything. They did have a pool and gym but was unfortunately closed for maintenance which is understandable but overall was an amazing stay.
