Palm Beach Manor

Palm Beach Manor was a great little villa/apartment for our little staycation: it is well situated, local and walking distance to the centre of Rockingham central shops and restaurants precinct, and only a couple of blocks from the ocean front beaches. The property presented very well, with a well equipped kitchen, towels and toiletries for the guests, and blankets and heaters if required. The rooms all have fans to ensure they are not stuffy, while shutters can be closed along with the blinds to shut out any light if you wanted a sleep-in! Only the master bedroom has an airconditioner though, which doesn't quite work. There is a high chair for your toddler and an extra mattress if needed too. There is parking for two cars easily, one in a lock-up garage and another in a carpark slot, and maybe another if absolutely needed as long as it doesn't obstruct the other villa owners/users. Because of its great location, we spent a bit of time at the beaches, and ate out just as much! For those needing a barbeque, they have a Weber Q (or similar) for your use. They also have a great outdoor sitting area for your sundowners. This property is double-storeyed with all the bedrooms upstairs and all the living areas downstairs, including a third toilet in the laundry. The elderly or people with mobility issues may find it difficult to get up the rather steep stairs. Palm Beach Manor has good/decent wifi and is equipped with a smart-TV capable of streaming the usual video streaming services. It also has a DVD player and a cache of DVDs that you would probably like to watch/re-watch.

Because of its location next to a pretty heavily used road/main road, there can be some noise polution. However, the shutters certainly does its job well in that situation. The airconditioner in the master bedroom didn't work very well if at all and could do with an update or service. The main airconditioner downstairs worked superbly during our stay! The fan controls especially in the master bedroom also could do with a service or have it looked at as it does not seem to respond to speeds - just on, or off. Other than that, the property presented clean, tidy, and comfortable both in the living areas as well as the bedrooms!

Excellent location within a short stroll to Rockingham beach and esplanade. Felt very at home and it was good to have loo roll, shower gel etc. Easy to book and had regular confirmation messages from the Owner/Booking.com

The road was fairly busy which may be an issue for light sleepers.

Super close to the beach

mostly everything. It walking distance to the water and shops.

No hand rail in the stair case. Not good for the elderly. We found dirty cooking utensils and frying pans, dirty fans. If you have a big car/4wd. not good for parking.
