The king bed was really comfortable and the unit was more spacious than I thought it would be. Great new shower and bathroom. Would definitely consider staying again for a short stay.
This is an unmanned unit. Communication was good with clear instructions on how to get in. Very quiet and pretty close to central township.

Liked: Staff & service, room comfort
Disliked: Cleanliness
Practical place in a good location.
Cosy and practical studio in good location. Some minor problems with the room on check-in, sorted by the friendly landlord same day. Cleaning was below average. All in all good value for money. Located in a nice, quiet neighborhood only 5 minutes walk to the beach.
The property was comfortably appointed and perfect for our needs but the booking process through Expedia was totally unacceptable

Clean, nice bed, wifi connection was good, decent kitchen, decent shower (though the water pressure was a bit low), great area - very quiet and walkable to dining options. Heatpump.
I needed an extension cord to hook up my working space. Tv was tiny and in the top corner of the the living space (didn't use it).
Bathroom very small and no extractor fan.
Overall above average.
Parking was very tight, but it is mentioned in description. Bathroom light is missing globe. Water in the shower was sensitive hot to cold. Would recommend and stay again.

I thought it was very over priced for the condition.
Tiny outdated bathroom and small bedroom/living area

No host, given a lock box code to access property. Toilet seat broken and dangerous with a sign that repair was pending. Kettle leaked badly. The noise from people talking and laughing until 2am in the apartment above was awful. But apart from that lot - good location!
Excellent location. 2 minute walk to main shops and beach. Property had every amenity. Stayed in unit 4. Perfect for 2-3 people. Great shower, comfortable bed, great little kitchen and nice decor. Would definitely book again.
Great studio accommodation perfect for what I needed. Not a destination stay: more a clean, comfy, great place to lay your head and relax after you've been where you wanted to go in the Coromandel for the day.
A wonderful place to stay. . . Greated warmly and pleasantly surprised by the room and the facilties. Thank you for a fantastic stay and we will be back, recommended to all.
