Comfy bed, friendly welcoming staff.
RSL club straight across the road and many cafes and restraunts within metres from hotel.
Lots of little shops to look in and walk along the water a street away.

Excellent property, and we were grateful for having such a spacious three bedroom apartment for our family to stay in. The location is excellent, directly opposite the RSL which does fantastic meals overlooking the river (and has a kids club during dinner time!) The room was spotlessly clean, the service was friendly, and parking and check-in was simple.
