Cath was great with communication and as helpful as she could be under the circumstances of a new listing. She responded quickly to all communication and was super pleasant and lovely.
This 2 bed apartment is right on the sandy Balmoral beach. Transport out of the area is a bit tricky and frustrating at times, as the nearest ferry port is around a 40 minute walk, but there are some buses in and around. (Plus, Uber is really easy to call on from here)
There is a room with 2 bunk beds (2 beds) and another king bed - with a very comfortable mattress. As a physio, this is important to me.
There are shops around a 15 - 20 minute walk away, including restaurants, but there are a few restaurants right downstairs from the apartment (and in fact, the apartment sits on top of a bottle shop, which is handy)
The apartment has brand new fittings, and was lovely and spotlessly clean and tidy - I was the first guest, so there are still a few teething issues, but the internet now works and Cath has been advised on the other bits and pieces to address. Once done, this will be a wonderful beach getaway.
I wouldn’t suggest staying here for a city sightseeing break, as it isn’t easy to get into the tourist sites, but it is an absolutely perfect beach getaway. There is a promenade which you can walk/run on, and pretty streets around the suburb for you to extend your walk and explore. The beach is safe to swim and there is a great cafe/restaurant right next to the beach, for a brunch, or coffee.
The listing provides shampoo /conditioner/body wash and they are moving towards hosting a luxury listing (hopefully proper coffee and milk for the next guest).
Thanks to Cath! If ever I’m in the area for a beach getaway again, I will be sure to call on you.
