The room was clean, check in was easy and quick as we did it online. We liked the idea of the kitchen being hidden behind a door, but the fridge was very tiny and didn't hold alot. Our room was close to the restaurant, but you couldn't hear the music which was good.

The unit allocated to us didn't have a dishwasher as described in the site, but it wasn't a big deal. Everything else was great, clean, spacious, and good and fast service from management when needed (like replacing bbq gas bottle). I'll be coming back in the future for sure.

Staff were so friendly and the room was large and clean with very comfortable beds. We ate at the restaurant and the food was great. Special thanks to the lady on reception who then went to work in the reception in the evening (sorry forgot her name) she was so nice and made us feel very welcome. We recommend and wouldn’t hesitate to return.

For us “oldies” stepping into a bath for a shower is never ideal, BUT apart from that minor issue, our stay was PERFECT. Starting with the lovely warm welcome from the helpful, young lady at reception through to the rest of our stay could not be faulted. The room was spacious, the bed was comfortable, the bathroom was a good size and the locality was great.

I booked an overnight stay through Wotif and was genuinely excited about my trip, but I was quite disappointed upon arrival. The fridge and microwave were in a disgusting state, and the room itself felt stuffy and uncomfortable. On top of that, the lighting in the room was very poor — definitely not suitable if you needed to study or use a computer at night. Out of four small lights, one wasn’t working, which made the room even dimmer. The price for the "studio" is nearly the same as the Garden View Studio, which is absolutely ridiculous. They call it "budget-friendly," yet charge $200 per night — for that amount, I expected much better accommodation. I'm sure the response I’ll receive here will be similar to what I already heard from the admin team — they went on about how they supposedly differentiate between the various room types and the beachfront views, etc., which simply isn't true. I found their explanation dismissive and unhelpful.
