Great property in a very central location, very close to the waterfront area, the main street and shopping centre. Parking was very convenient and secure. We stayed in the Waterfront Apartment which was very comfortable and clean, and had a very large private patio area with water views. Staff were very welcoming and the on-site cafe was great for coffees in the morning. We will definitely stay here again.
