Staff are great and helpful. Some apartments are a little dated but always clean and well stocked. Fantastic prices and convenient location. On site secured parking included in price.
It’s quite lovable place to spend excursion. Would love to spend more quality time there. Pool at property is really gem of the accommodation at heart of city

Stunning views, close to everything.
What a great apartment. It's pretty dated, but clean and comfortable, spacious 2 bdr apartment with awesome views and everything you need for your home away from home. So close to everything and convenient, with secure underground parking and nice big swimming pool. We'll definitely visit again.

The staff at the Marrakai were wonderful - friendly and extremely helpful. The room, while older, was clean and spacious. Woolworths and Mall are within walking distance, as is the Waterfront and wharf (although it was extremely hot in the middle of the day). We also had an amazing view!

Great place, outdated but still extremely comfortable. Only problems were ants everywhere, despite ensuring we cleaned up after ourselves, the stovetop fan was broken and didn't work. Also, lack of cooking utensils and tea towels. For the price though, it was great and got the job done! Air con was fantastic and would probably stay again.

Property was in a great convenient location, amazing views, unit was tired and outdated, broken furniture, dirty dishes from previous occupants, not a real friendly duty manager, seemed an effort for him to say hello let alone be helpful with anything

The property is not right in the town centre so there are not many restaurants or shops, though you can easily walk to these if it's not too hot. The apartment was very comfortable and we had fantastic views from the top floor. There was quite a lot of traffic noise, however, and the apartment was very old and really needs a refurb and new furniture. The old dishwasher broke down during our stay and a shower head needed replacing. It was very clean, though, and the beds were really comfortable, with lovely, good quality linen. Overall, I would definitely stay again as it was good value for money, comfortable, and the manager, Jason, was very attentive.

The property is tired and outdated but the space and 90 degree balcony with view is clean and spacious. It has all the amenities you need. Good if you have teens who want their own space. Great base if you’re out and about all day or taking tours to come back to apartment style living, pool is fantastic and the highlight. Locals can be loud at night but felt safe and totally secure on the 16th floor.
