The one bedroom apartment we were assigned was poorly maintained. It had an odd, musty smell, somewhat reminiscent of student lodgings (the apartment manager denies any smell). The carpet was dirty (with an odd smell in parts), even though the apartment manager claimed they had been very recently cleaned (and recently replaced). Toilet paper was down to a quarter of...

We booked a 2 bedroom apartment for 2 nights over the weekend. We read the instructions on the booking website regarding the off site office for key pick up. We managed to find our way there after going round in a few circles only to find it is unattended. We rang the number on the door and was relieved to... More

We recently stayed in a one bedroom executive apartment for 5 nights on the 7th floor .One bedroom apartments apparently do not have bayside views but are offered as city views which includes views of the shopping complex car park directly across the road. The apartment was spacious and comfortable but showing signs of wear and tear. We were pleased... More

My family from interstate recently stayed here for a family get together. We found the customer service from booking to check in excellent. The apartments are very well located, clean and spacious. We had a gorgeous corner suite overlooking Fishmen's basin. The staff could have not been more helpful on our check in. However, dont expect you are checking in... More

Its in a great location, in between Westfield and the bay with lots of great restaurants to choose from. We did not have a car... More

From the complicated, inconvenient way of collecting the keys (having to first go to a dingy office tucked away in a back street, virtually impossible to find), to the all too small carpark (my car would not fit), to the maze of underground concrete pathways to hidden lifts, the whole experience bordered on the ridiculous. Nothing worked in the apartment... More

We stayed in this complex last yr and had an enjoyable experience. 2nd time round, HIGHLY disappointed. We were very impressed with the $200.00 a night fee for a 2 bedroom apartment with beautiful bay views. Once we settled in, issues started to arise. The central heater/cooler was not functioning at 100% therefore the master bedroom was freezing & the... More

We are a family with 2 young kids and we stayed here for 8 nights in a two-bedroomed apartment on the 5th floor. Everything was top-notch. We had a nice view of the bay from our balcony. Very modern, clean and VERY spacious apartment. Big kitchen with everything you need. Secure basement parking. If I had to get super-picky here,... More
