Ultimately we had a lovely stay at Bimbolla Apartments, but it was marred by the fact that the first property we were given was unacceptably damp and the entire apartment was impregnated with the smell of it. even plastic fittings had mildew/mould on them and my daughters pillow had mildew on it presumably from being stored there, the aircon didn't work and the patio door wasn't secure. We were moved, but it took up a large portion of the first day which on a 3 day break is significant. We had to keep going up the hill to reception to see if cleaners had finished and to get the lock fixed when they were, which was tiring on no sleep (we didn't sleep because of the damp smell and lack of air con in the first apartment). The second apartment which was upstairs was better, but we could tell things had been sprayed to overrule the damp smell. It kept it at bay for a couple of days, but it started creeping in by the end.
The apartments are nice, but very tired in terms of decoration and in my opinion need an overhall because all the bedroom and kitchen cupboards smell damp and there is evidence of damp/humidty in other bits of the furniture. Our whole work top was de-laminating in the kitchen for example.
On the other hand, it's in a great location, the pools are lovely (if a bit cold for me), the staff are really nice and it has a pleasant atmosphere. I wouldn't hesitate to go back if they re-furbed and with low expectations and a cheap nightly rate they're not bad as they are.
