10/10 Exceptional

Great apartment and facilities.
Sean, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

With easy access to the waterfront and restaurants, this is a lovely place to stay. The staff were friendly.
Rebekah, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Thread worn carpet on stairs, the smell of cigarettes, sweat stained lounge and 20 years overdue for a reno. This accommodation was not worth the high price. The only thing it had going for it was the waterfront outlook.

Great location, facilities a little run down.
Torrey, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great location on the water. Walking distance to the marina and some cafes. Functionally the apartment was spot on (3 bdrm, 2bthrm, kitchen, laundry) and mostly clean. Apartment is dated but met our needs.
Mandy, 5-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Overall very good value for money. One problem with parking when an entitled person who was visiting took my spot. The person she was visiting entertained a lot - late at night. Didn’t enjoy listening to her loud opinions. I think I was just unlucky with that. Break free was great and staff bent over backwards to support me. I would happily stay there again. Loved being right on the beach. Thanks Break Free!
Tracey, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Amazing views and a great beach and pools. Close walk to lots of dining options. Apartments are a little dated and more parking for higher vehicles in the property would be good.
Tracey, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The staff was very accommodating and helpful. Very upbeat.
Charles, 2-night trip

Nice getaway

The property is in a great location with beautiful ocean views. The room was dated and ceiling needed cleaning from dust but overall a comfortable stay. The lap pool was lovely.
Belinda C, 4-night trip
