    The traffic noise was quite loud, especially for people from the country.

    We loved the location. The view to Bass Strait was lovely. The proximity to Burnie was amazing.

    Not quite set up for a family to stay eg no room for food in cupboards, main bedroom only had sliding door so couldn't open for fresh air and Jack and Jill bathroom Would have been a great idea to have the front decking / walkway enclosed so when trying to get inside in a storm we didn't all get wet! Limited turning area for 4WD if all parking bays were used

    Central location to great pub meal, would be great for business travellers, shower spacious and overhead heating was nice Beds comfy and rooms were clean

    Needs a bit more attention to detail in the cleaning. Not bad just not what it should be.

    Location was great, very close to everything. The apartment had everything you needed and the view was perfect. The Ocean view apartment also has a spa which was an added bonus.

    Due to being on a main road and no double glazing on the windows you can’t sleep. The cars and trucks are heard (loud) all night long

    Great property with everything you need for a good stay

    This property suited us as it was comfortable, well equipped for us do do some washing and was in close walking distance to go and see the penguins with the volunteer guides from the penguin observation centre. The apartments are also close to the beach and great restaurants. Highly recommend Mallee’s grill for an amazing steak and Bayview bar and restaurant for something very special! Future guests do need to be aware that as the front of apartment is on the main road the living area of the apartment is very noisy from trucks and general traffic during the day. The view however from the front is stunning and the traffic is light at night so we found that sleeping was fine.

    The unit is on the main road so it was a bit noisy. Steep driveway which made it hard to get out if other cars were there.

    The unit was clean and tidy, comfy beds, good bathroom and had everything we needed. Convenient location and within walking distance to the town centre.

    It was very noisy. Situated on a main road beside traffic lights made the traffic noise very loud. 2nd bedroom is very tiny.

    The location being close to town and able to walk across to see the penquins was great.
