    Darkness of the internal rooms in a sunny location. Conterintutive

    Outdoor balcony and close proximity plantings - gave a 'tropical feel' ambience.

    Good value but with some real pros and cons

    The sofa bed was very uncomfortable, the decor dated and the TV didn’t seem to work (there were no instructions or remotes I could see - this didn’t bother us personally but is worth noting). There was no fan in the bathroom so a light coating of mould on the ceiling. It was definitely a 3.5 star property at best.

    We found our bed comfortable and the apartment spacious and generally well equipped. The garden setting was pleasant, I enjoyed sitting on the balcony and we also slept well. The free, secure parking underground out of the sun was a plus. Overall, the property was good value for money. We also received clear and effective instructions for accessing the property after hours.

    The only thing that needs improvement is the sofabed, it feels old and uncomfortable, the person that slept there didn't rest well.

    The location and the facilities were amazing, it was very clean and the communication with the host was very easy and smooth.

    Stairs. This was a struggle as I have bad knees and 30 stairs each way was painful. The other thing was the water pressure in the shower, this was extremely poor. 3rd thing was the TV. Really think channel 7 & 9 should be available.

    Unit clean and spacious. Booked last minute and was very pleased. Good value for money. All facilities in unit including washing machine & dryer. Although we had a car, used a taxi a couple of times and very reasonable fare to city being less than $15.00. Lovely to sit on chair on balcony. Great air cons & screens.

    The place was filthy and had a really bad smell. We had to go get supplies to clean the walls ourselves as the dust build up above the beds was really bad. The cooking facilities were average with only 3 pieces of cutlery for a place that slept 4.

    It was a nice sized apartment.

    It is a little old~ a pipe burst in the wall and leaked in bedroom. Cleaning is also only once a week and may be hard to get in reception hours if you’re out during the day!

    Could do with a potatoe peeler in the draws.

    Heather and Warren were great hosts, very helpful and respectful. Room was very well equiped, Bed was very comfortable, room was clean and presented well, The pool needed to be leaf cleaned , the spa unit connected to the pool does not work, but good size pool, great for an evening cool down, open till 10pm.. Close to bus route and easy walk to main CBD about 1 and a half kms along Lake Street, also very easy access to the Esplanade by the sea, 1 block over 10 minute walk, which is an awesome place for a stroll or take the kids for bike rides and a swim, in the awesome water play areas. Has a great coffee / food place also in the same area. Great pickup location for most activity providers, Kuranda Rail, Skyrail, Dive operators, Island Tours etc.

    Constant tyre screeching noise from the new hospital carpark next door only metres away. Had to keep outside ranch slider closed and made the outside seating area a no go. Being on the third floor with no lift lugging suitcases not fun.

    The space/size of apartment. Own laundry facilities. Covered car parking underneath building. Short distance to the promenade.
