The room was awesome, with a view on the pool and the ocean, it gave us the perfect relaxed holiday vibe. We even got a late check-out till 5 pm for free which resulted in a well needed hot shower after a sweaty walk to spot koala's nearby. Contact with Adam whent smoothless by sms and an envelop ready to pick up the key whenever we wanted.

The entire stay was flawless. We were able to switch off and relax. The apartment was really clean and the beautiful lady came and delivered our keys because we forgot to collect them. We will definitely be back. It's a regular stay for us from now on.
