We parked our car and didn’t get in it for 3 days!
Beach, walks, cafes and restaurants all within walking range. Great outlook. Thanks for sharing your lovely apartment.
Brilliant space. Bigger than expected. Great location. Loved the deck in the afternoon for reading on the couch. Excellent kitchen and laundry. So good having three singles in second room instead of bunks. Good bathroom. Dated but perfectly functional. Just everything you need. Can't rate it high enough and would definitely love to stay again. Thank you.

The view was great and main reason we rented it. Loved the ocean view and surfers in front of us daily. We rented for patio. Would have been a better patio with a proper table to dine . Only a coffee table available outside . However the place is tired which didn’t show as much in photos. Not particularly clean either. Sliding doors were very dirty and wallpaper coming off. A few appliances like bbq didn’t work well until we cleaned as it was filthy, no microwave which should be essential , and toaster oven didn’t work . Bedroom was too hot to sleep so we had to move mattress into lounge where there is an A/C. And when it was windy the windows howled as there wasn’t a proper seal. I have stayed in Mount 7 times and this place was good but overpriced for the condition of place .the view of ocean has to be worth the price. The apartment is really a Bach and could use a reno.
The location of this bach is prefect. Right across the road from the beach. The beds are comfy and the kitchen has everything you need if you want to cook at home. However there are so many good restaurants a quick walk away, why would you?
Very cool retro apartment in great location with amazing view of beach and surf. Easy walk to shops and restaurants etc. Had everything you would need and well stocked kitchen. There is just one bathroom and it is dated but was part of the charm. Excellent communication before and thoughout stay.
Excellent location, close to beach and town. Property manager brilliant communication. Beds very comfortable and everything we needed to as in apartment.
This was everything we wanted and more. Its in perfect location, once we arrived we didn't use our cars until we left. Right across the road from the beach, with easy walking distance to everything we needed. Nights on the sofa on the deck, chatting away listening to the ocean. The apartment has everything we needed and was tidy, clean and well organised. The beds and pillows comfy and linen was devine. The communication with booking, arriving and leaving was all we could ask for. Thank you so much, we look forward to staying again xx
The location of this property is ideal. Directly opposite the beach and walking distance to the shops and restaurants. The apartment is fitted with all the appliances we needed and is super tidy and clean. I would definitely stay again.
