Fine
Place was clean, and fairly spacious. Communication was very poor. Rang four different numbers sent texts and left messages regarding how we check out. 4 days later no response. Place was well kit out, and clean, but significant amount of roaches. Marvellous harbour view was view of train station and harbour

Communication about check in was poor. I had to make phone calls because i didn't receive booking confirmation until following day. Parking was a nightmare.... web said it was available, but it was not. When i asked for a refund, lady was very rude!. Our room was nothing like the pics!! Our balcony view was supposed to be "magnificent harbour view" they said... rubbish, it was a view of the tram yard!!! The pic of room we booked showed a glass balcony, the room wee got was a concrete wall.Bedroom was different to pics. Bbq was filthy with old onions & pieces of burnt food. I had to clean cutlery draw as it was full pig crumbs & hair! Shower took 3+minutes to heat up with no pressure. Vomit on footpath infront of entry door. No signs to find Carpark. Even when we did manage to get a space, we had to move spots several times. False advertising at its best. They send you terms & conditions AFTER payment, in this they cover their behind by stating that your room etc may not reflect the pics!! This should be told before paying in my opinion. There is more to complain about, but why bother, i don't think they will be offering a refund of any kind. Don't waste your time, stay somewhere else!

Modren, really clean and overall spacious 1 bedroom apartment and check in process very easy and hosts lovely. The building has good security but should add more security to the apartment door when locking from inside such as chain stopper as there is no peep hole. Bathrom quite small and no soap or other product caddy in shower which due to it being small was a bit annoyoying. Kitchen equipped minimally and I had no idea how to use microwave so suggest leaving instructions nearby. Overall though I would definitely recommend this apartment.

Very clean apartment with beautiful bedding. Very comfortable. Views were lovely. Nice to have secure undercover parking as street parking restricted and quiet expensive although if it were a little cheaper that would be a bonus. Great coffee shop on corner and food shops only 5 minutes away. Would definitely stay here again.

Great Beaches
Thoroughly enjoyed our recent stay in Newcastle. Our only disappointed was all the road works, and light rail works, but that didn't stop us from doing/seeing all that was on our "must do list". Easy access to the Hunter Valley (Wineries) and Hawksbury River. 5 minute walk to station and bus services. Need to be aware about booking direct a car space before arriving if you have a vehicle

Good Value shame about the excavation
The rooms in the apartment were very clean and comfortable and a good price in comparison to other similar accommodation. Unfortunately right outside your door is major excavation for a new rail link. There is a lot of work being done around the Newcastle central area and plenty of other hotels are worse effected. Our room was on the first floor so very close to it. That being said the apartment was sound proofed and we weren't really bothered by the activities. Lovely big verandah and water in the distance. We were met at the apartment and shown around and communication with the office was good. Great little cafe in the street.

Walking distance to restaurant strip, close to shopping centre. Short drive to beaches. Price was good for the location, but be aware parking & cleaning are extra hidden costs. There is no convenient street parking.
