Cul-de-Sac Charm

The location and the cleanliness

Very small and hard to move in the bathroom

Loved everything except the bathroom was way too small.

Check in was hassle free. The location was great. We needed something close to the Aquatic Centre as we had a week long event and were back and forth multiple times a day. The apartment was SPOTLESSLY clean (and I am fussy)! Bed very comfortable and the actual bedroom and wardrobe space quite big. Aldi and chemist across the road and Coles and Woolies maybe only a 5 min drive away. Appreciated the on site parking, but the space is very small (however we were made aware of this).

Given we stayed a full week for a sporting event, there were a couple of things that could have made our stay more convenient. It’s a 1 bedroom apartment, however the toilet/bathroom is in the bedroom (and can only be accessed through the bedroom) - meaning that when my daughter went to sleep for the night, it made it tricky to use the bathroom etc. The bathroom is VERY small, and the shower curtain makes it tricky - we ended up buying two extra bath towels to use as floor mats due to all the water spilling out. Adding a shower screen would make a huge difference! Although it was great to have aircon/heating in the bedroom, another unit it the lounge area would be useful. I needed to cook most nights, and I had trouble getting the stove to stay on anything but the high heat setting (it may have been due to a dodgy frypan). There was also no oven tray that I could find. I also missed in the listing that there wasn’t a clothes dryer - my fault completely, but that was tough for us as we were there for diving competition.

The water was hot.

The shower was very small and the curtain blew in and stuck to you. There was only one shampoo, gel and conditioner, there were 2 people and we were staying 7 days, so not enough. Same with coffee, sugar, etc limited supplies. The air con was only in the bedroom so sitting in the lounge area was cold. You could hear the people upstairs, and next to the car park so got woken at 6am in the week.
