We loved our stay at The Carmel ... wonderful friendly and welcoming staff. Check in and check out easy. Cleanliness was next level which is important to me as I have a lung condition which is easily aggravated if not. Beautifully refurbished with a casual beach style which I didn't want to leave. I fell in love with the picture on the lounge room wall, lol!! A lovely mini-bar there if you didn't feel like going out just to deal with the munchies. Lovely good sized verandah to sit on and enjoy the surroundings of this single level complex ... great for the oldies ... no stairs!!! Waterways across the road and all you need in the city centre, a short 2min drive away, or a brisk walk. We were very impressed and would be happy to return here.
