Great location!
Very nice unit in a great location! Amazing ocean breeze within the unit. We did however experience a few negatives- pictures of the unit showed a square dining table with 4 chairs on the balcony (strong point for us as we wanted to have our meals on the balcony and not inside where there is potential for young kids to accidentally dirty the carpet). Upon arrival the dining table wasnt there and instead a smaller/lower round table more so designed for drinks- not a family of 4 to set up for meals. We advised O'Meara of this and were given an apology and said the owners advised the other table broke so it was replaced "like for like". Simply not the case. I found it insulting that the property manager downplayed my concerns in this matter in an attempt to brush them off as nothing. The outdoor table was a requirement for my family and therefore a major inconvenience for us. Another issue we had was the family staying one balcony across from us were constantly smoking even though the building and surrounds are deemed a smoke free zone. We called O'Meara to advise them of this issue after politely asking them twice to stop and all we got told is they can't ring them without knowing the unit number for certain.. they wanted us to go door knocking and find them ourselves. I advised it's one balcony over and cant they check a building map but was told no. Our unit reeked of cigarettes cos of them. So all in all, place itself is nice as is the location but the O'Meara team and smokers next door let it down.
6.0 / 10.0
Reasonable.
Apart from the dreadfully uncomfortable lounge the unit was nicely decorated and the beds ok. We went for the view (which does not disappoint) but you cannot enjoy the view while sitting in such discomfort.Unless you sit very still and do not move, the lounge seats swivel and move about. The back rest is so poorly designed you have to slump back to reach it. If you are planning to be out all day and only returning to eat/seep this unit is fine.
8.0 / 10.0
Reasonable Value
Paying extra for linen remains a problem with some of these properties.
With regards to this Unit, we were a little disappointed that it lacked air conditioning.
However it was a lovely unit with excellent views. Other issues re noisy neighbours are probably beyond your control.
8.0 / 10.0
Great Unit
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, great location, great view, everything we need.
