“Good value for money”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 December 2010

I chose this accommodation because I hadnt book quickly enough to secure a couple of nights at the backpacker side of their business, but since the rates were so good I decided to enjoy my own space, own kitchen, own tv etc. This is an older style accommodation that has been modernised partly, in the rooms that count, ie kitchen and bathroom, and all decor in general. I found the area quiet, it was close to town ie about a 7 minute walk, in fact closer than i realised at the time because the free shuttle stops at two points very close by and if you stay on the shuttle it will take you to the central shopping district firstly and then if you remain on it, you will get to the supermarkets of your choice, all very very handy! I really enjoyed my stay here, it was very spacious, i had the 2 bedroom apartment, i believe they have 1 bed as well but I just took was available at the time. If there were any teeny tiny little niggles it is that tv reception wasnt that great and the hike up the outside staircase with my heavy bag was a job and a half! But these are minor, all in all i think this is fantastic value for money accommodation and I would definitely recommend it. Oh just to note, there is no reception at the complex (4 units), that is situated at their backpacker accommodation which is about a 7 min walk away.

“Well located clean comfortable bach”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 April 2010

We really enjoyed the one night we stayed. Two bedrooms easily fit our family of 5. Old style but very comfortable and well equipped with kitchen and laundry. The only thing I'd say is the noise from behind and upstairs disturbed my sleep, though my husband and kids didn't notice. It was an easy walk to the centre and close to a great restaurant strip (end of block).
