Clean, very convenient location. Next door to a Dan Murphy's, pub and 7/11. Two storey layout is a bit inconvenient as had to go upstairs for main bedroom and bathroom, not a big deal for most but would be problematic if have any mobility issues. Some of the furniture was a bit old, and the dining table legs were crooked.

A good location for easy walking to shops and foreshore. The apartment was spacious (except for the bathroom, which is tiny) with a nice kitchen and sitting area, with a sofa and table with chairs. Upstairs, the bedroom also spacious and the bed very comfortable. Our balcony overlooked a carpark, but we did not have any issues with noise.
