In a great location and good amenities. Bed was made well and comfortable. Large balcony and good sized rooms.
The floor, table and lounge room furniture did not seem to have been properly cleaned. Bathroom was clean and tidy.

Relaxing Stay
Beautiful water view's very relaxing. Just a few problems, needs to have the unit fumigated. Lots of very tiny ants & cockies. Also had to rewash all crockery, Cutlery and glasses as they were dirty.

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

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.

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.
