Was really good stay, clean and a lovely spacious room, exactly what we needed.
Long weekend prices quite expensive tho, note it is a share accomodation but everything’s as if it were a hotel and you have your own private space.
Could use the front door lock on the main building to be fixed, got caught several times not being able to get out and felt like we were waking other guests up.
Cosy and warm room, the huge spa bath was so relaxing and the place was quiet. Great stay for a weekend away. Only a few mins walk to the beach. Highly recommend!
Under cover lock up parking, excellent price,
Very clean and tidy the bathroom was huge and the views from the balcony and proximity to the beach,walking track and golf course were great
Excellent quality, great facilities, incredible bathroom, excellent views, balcony to enjoy the area. I would highly recommend you take the opportunity to stay - you will not be disappointed.

Liked: Amenities
Check in was easy and room comfortable with good amenities but blinds were very dusty.
The property was very clean & tidy inside in a very quiet location. The courtyard outside needed some TLC to tidy up the garden. It was a short walk to Middleton Beach & also to the Golf Club. However, you needed to drive to local shops.
We had a 5 night stay in the property & thoroughly enjoyed our time in Albany.
No Ocean view, and no access to upstairs balconies
We chose the upstairs room noted as having a partial ocean view, I couldn’t find that view, nor could I access the upstairs balconies. The room was spacious and well appointed, importantly the bed was comfortable.
The room we had was 10x better than the advertised pictures. Awesome facilities, nice bed, nice location and overall it was very comfortable for short or long term stay.
The only negative was the place could have been much cleaner, there was much dust and spiders and the ground seemed as if not cleaned.
But apart from that it is an excellent place and we are very grateful and we would go back!
The apartment complex was in a residential area but very close to the beach. It was quiet and well maintained. Only problem was on our last day we didn’t have any hot water for showers. I rang the property manager to inform them and was told that it would take about an hour for someone to get there. We were leaving, so we didn’t want to wait until then.
Close proximity to beach . Dune Brewery's close by.

Liked: Staff & service, room comfort
Bed was comfy with large bathroom and shower. We didn’t realise this is a house divided into 3 seperate accomodation spaces. The garden outdoor area as pictured is part of only 1 accom
space which was disappointing. Detail to cleaning could be improved.
Hard! When 3 rooms are occupied, there is very limited space for whoever parked on grass to move out.
The SPA does not work well.
Water boiler and roaster are very dirty.
For the price, this property was very disappointing. The apartment itself feels very poorly outfitted; the shower head and bath tap both leak, there are holes and paint spots on the walls, missing plates, and NO WIFI. The photos in the listing are misleading - our room did not have access to the full kitchen as that only comes with the suite. There were also huge spiders and webs behind the bedside table. Overall, pretty average and definitely not worth the price.
