Slim Dusty

Room was ok, but was connecting with other rooms, I scanned to go into my room and was met with a corridor with another 3 doors, which I had to scan into another door to get to my room. The AC was daikin but when I checked to see if filters were clean they were covered in thick dust. That’s insane! Health hazard .

10/10 Exceptional

I booked a 1 bedroom court view apartment for a 2 night weekend stay for my birthday. I was able to get an early check in on the Friday. The rooms were spacious, quiet and clean. I liked that they had all the cleaning products for the washing machine, dishwasher etc in the apartments too and an oven. The pool and spa were lovely. It was great for my little get away. I’ll definitely be back.
