I enjoyed my stay here, however the room needs a bit of a refresh. The carpet in the bedroom is looking a bit sad, and it could do with a paint. However the views over the water are outstanding.

So close to beach. Unfortunately loud neighbours moved in after a couple nights one floor above. I'm not use to communal living so found that difficult

Room was tired and needed a refurb with carpets, couch cushions had makeshift filling that was uncomfortable and TV was too small. Mattress needed replacing. SPA bath in middle of room??? Beautiful gardens and property was safe and in walking distance to eateries. A little far to go to supermarket but had a cheap bus service. Good location but need to update furniture and carpet.

The outlook of the ocean, the immediate access to the beach, the close proximity to the lap pool, the peace and quiet, the short walk (20 mins) to the long, Urangan pier and shops, the large area of kitchen/lounge and bedroom.

This property is inhabited by what looks like a mix of permanent/semi permanent resident retirees on the one hand and tourists on the other. We found it a mixed experience: the apartment was not very comfortable with cheap furniture and fittings throughout and truly awful fluro lighting. Incredibly, there is NO wifi. In this day and age??? Compounding this problem is that the 4g signal was barely there. So no Netflix streaming etc on your device. There was a DVD player with some unwatchable, dated dvds. But the remote didn't work! The 'kitchen' was very poor - basic, with one hotplate. The mattress was cheap but ok but the blankets supplied were woefully inadequate. Lastly, I had plugged in my Tesla electric car into the 10 amp socket on the back wall of our allocated car space to simply maintain the basic functionality of the car, but someone in their wisdom decided to switch off the outlet for some inexplicable reason. Not a good feeling to have your vehicle interfered with by, presumably, a resident trying to save electricity or a groundperson for reasons I can't begin to understand. On the positive side, the location is excellent for whale watching trips and there was a view of the ocean and beach access. A generous 2 stars out of 5.
