"Clean, beautiful, well located, spacious, excellent views, good facilities, great hosts / reception staff. Have stayed there 3 times now over recent years and will certainly return."
"Staff were friendly, lovely staff and helpful. Pools and spa area is really lovely. Great little cafe attached. Super close to Pacific Fair and bus/tram services.
Our room was clean, shower area could do with an exit mould and scrub but otherwise fine. View from balcony was very average and construction across the road was noisy during the week.
Good location."

"Will definitely be back. Nothing to complain about. You have a 7eleven and subway downstairs if needed. Loved the room had great views of the ocean. Clean and Comfortable room."
