I love the location of the property, it is close to many restaurants and the tram station & has a little harbour view from the balcony. Room was tired, no channel 7 or 9 on TV in lounge room, hole in the wall inside the front door, broken decorative mirror in lounge room. Needs a good clean, cobwebs on nearly every interior window, orange lolly left beside fridge, labels still left on legs supporting desk, window shutters are dusty, couch seats run into middle of couch-very uncomfortable to sit on.

Enjoyable 6 night stay
We stayed in a 1 bedroom apartment for 6 nights and found it very clean, comfortable and spacious. The bed was really comfortable and the shower great. It was lovely to have a full size washing machine and dryer. It would have been nice to have a cupboard in the bathroom to put our toiletries and a clothes airer. The view from the living area was good and we even had a glimpse of the sea from our balcony. The kitchen was great and the only thing needed there was a salad bowl. Great range of glasses and a full size fridge. We had 2 fire evacuations on Xmas day due to someone cooking and setting off the fire alarm so maybe it would be a good idea to have a 1 minute button installed in the apartments.

We were not sent the correct codes to enter the property room and not sent the car park boom gate code and finding a parking spot is difficult. When trying to enter the car park to lift area door code, it is that dark you cannot see the key pad.

One of the rooms in the 2 bedroom apartment where our baby was going to sleep my husband found the light was sparking. We informed staff and no one took it serious. Guy came to look to take a photo and then blew the whole apartments power resulting in us having to move to a 1 bedroom smaller apartment at night when we were trying to put our baby to sleep. That room had a broken door. Had to move rooms again the next day. Staff were not helpful and didnt seem interested at all. We were told we would be compensated as i payed for the 2 bedroom apartment and we havent had a phone call whatsoever. I think its very poor service when you have to change rooms twice with a baby and staff dont seem to care. Still waiting for staff to ring us which they obviously had no intention on doing so. Will not stay here again.

The reception lacked in knowledge of the local area. Also after we left they rang to say we hadn’t paid for parking which we had done on arrival. It would have been good to have a local map and a few pamphlets of the local area for tourists like us. Other than that the position was excellent and the room also excellent.

The room was great and the staff were very friendly and helpful. The only problem we had was that on the second night we were there our entry code for the front door didn’t work. If another couple hadn’t come along to let us in according to the recording on their after hours number we would have had to call a locksmith at our own cost.

Top spot, underrated by many.
After getting used to the idea of no key card and using a code to enter a door the whole concept seems seamless. Have to keep a handle on remembering the codes but otherwise makes sense. We had our elderly parents stay in one 1 bedroom apartment while we stayed in another. There seemed to be generous space in each apartment and generally had good storage for bags and luggage, which many places neglect. It was also so close to the riverside. Only a short walk to the light rail another bonus and this made it so easy. We parked the car on the first day and didn't use it again. The Newcastle foreshore has come a long way and making further advancements all the time. We have mostly stayed at Quest until this last visit and thinking HEA would be high on our return list of favorite places to stay due to it's proximity to the water and Newcastle central district. It is lovely walking along the waterfront park. Fantastic. The staff were quite obliging and general maintenance was good, a couple of minor issues but these were more to do with poor behavior from guests damaging things rather than management issues. Would recommend this place over many, and definitely deserves more than the rating it gets from others.

We had a great time. The apartments are in a great location with plenty of dining options. After a fire in a room only a few doors up from ours, we spent 1.5hrs on the street from 2am on the first night. There was no communication from staff about this incident which surprised and disappointed us. It was as if it never happened
