i found the ground floor one-bedroom apartment very spacious and with a lovely sea view. the kitchen had a two-pot hob and was well equipped.. it suited my needs perfectly. two wall-mounted tvs offered entertainment, and the sofa was quite comfortable. the bed also provided good comfort, complemented by a selection of pillows.
the absence of air conditioning meant i only had access to fans.

Satisfactory Stay Near the Beach

perfect locationclean roomspacious roomgood car park
I liked how close it was to the beach. Restaurants are near, and Cathedral Cove is a short drive away. The room felt clean, and it was spacious. I found the car park good, and it was close to shops.
I noticed a pile of sand on the mat outside the door.
Rooms

The room had basic kitchen facilities that I found convenient. The bedroom window faced the stairs, so I kept the curtain closed. A fan was provided in the wardrobe to keep the room cool.
Dining

There were tea bags, salt, and pepper available in the room. This helped with simple cooking. I found a grocery store just around the corner for shopping.

The lack of air conditioning was a problem. sleeping was difficult during the hottest part of the year. the check-in staff were not cute. i reminded me of i was bothering them! the shower was also subpar. The water flow was weak. it pretty much just trickled out.
