We stayed in Freshwater for 1 week.
Overall it’s a great apartment. There’s nothing massively wrong with it however there were a few little things that were a bit annoying but could be easily fixed.
Good points
- great location. Close to the beach and also really close to shops, restaurants and public transport.
- Parking in Freshwater is a nightmare so the car spot was great!
- The space at the bottom of the stairwell was also really handy for storing our pram and stroller. Would also be really handy for a bike.
- Generally very clean and nicely styled. Although on the first day our son found a dried up dead lizard on the floor and tried to eat it. Could benefit from a deep clean.
- Plenty of plates, cutlery, pots, pans etc
- bed in the main bedroom is really comfortable
- Black out blinds are great, especially for a napping baby.
- Nice cross breeze when both doors are open, would be great for summer.
Bad points
- Broken towel rail and shelf in shower meant not much space to hang towels or to put toiletries. (P.s. the screws were missing in the towel rail which meant as soon as we put a towel on it fell off the wall, we’ve replaced it how we found it but it needs fixing)
- Laundry facilities were good but the laundry itself was filthy and damp. Prob due to to outdoor cushions which were piled in the corner and seemed to be going moldy.
- Bed in the room closest to the lounge was broken in middle so if two people slept in it they rolled to the middle. Plus there is a bit of wood sticking out at the end of the bed. All of us knocked our knees on it and it really hurt! Maybe if the bed was moved next to the wall there’s be more space to move around in the room.
- Microwave needs replacing. It’s good that it has a child lock on it but it’s temperamental as sometimes the buttons don’t work.
- Need to invest in a set of wine glasses. There were only 3 random sized glasses but we had 4 adults…Kmart sells them for like $12 for 6!
- Fly screen next to the kitchen needs fixing as it keeps coming off the rails
If these things were fixed it would be an awesome stay :)
