Travelled with family and small children
Disliked: Cleanliness
The property itself was basic which is all we needed so that in itself was worth the money with kitchen. The queen bed was two singles put together which kept separating. The quilts were clean but had significant stains, wasn’t very appealing when looking at them but they were clean. The bathtub hadn’t been cleaned in a long time I scrubbed it so my kids could bath in it, the kitchen was missing cutlery, the toaster was melted and also hadn’t been cleaned in a while still functional after I cleaned it but a new toaster from Kmart is only $7 so replacing broken and worn items should be a priority. We did have a problem with our heater it broke on our first night but the owner did bring us a replacement and additional blankets at 9pm at night. I think if the cleaners paid a bit more attention to detail deep cleaning every so often, replaced missing items without guests having to ask it would be a good stay. No instructions for the heater or stove top so had to ring and ask. No rules about noise, a family leaving the building at 3am decided to do multiple trips not very quietly up and down the stairs they should have packed the car the night before like everyone else. Not the owners fault offcourse but if were given house rules that would have helped. Our last night we couldn’t park on the Carpark and had to park in the street because they over allocated parks. Taking that into consideration when booking or explaining to guests first would be a good idea but not a deal breaker

The room itself was good. Plenty of room in the 2 bedroom apartment. It was a cold night and even with the heaters on 30 degrees it barely did anything to heat the lounge room. And parking was a nightmare! Too many cars and not enough spaces. And so cramped that to drive in and out of the car park I literally had millimetres between my car and the two parked either side.

Shower drain was blocked and quickly flooded. Overall apartment smelt of cigarette smoke and needs a refresh of paint, comfortable couches (the current one was old and not at all comfortable to sit on. No tv in main bedroom. Tv in living space was very small. Overall cleanliness and security into the building was poor (complex front door didn’t automatically close). While price wasn’t too expensive, I would try other options next time
