Rachel R. Couples - 3/8/2026 Confirmed reviews ALL

We came to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary so we hoped the accommodation would be lovely. It did not disappoint. The first thing we did on arrival was open a bottle of bubbly out on the balcony and enjoy the beautiful view of the beach while exchanging anniversary gifts. It was perfect! Great location - a short walk to the main street with lots of options for dinner. The cafe next door was also convenient for brekky and as we were staying at The Observatory we got a 5% discount too. The apartment was spacious and clean. We will stay there again next time we're in the beautiful Port area.

Thank you again for your lovely feedback. We’re so pleased you enjoyed your stay and appreciated the views, location, and comfort of the apartment. It means a great deal to us that you chose to share your experience again. We look forward to welcoming you back on your next visit. Warm regards, Ashleigh

Staff are excellent, super friendly and give excellent service. I could not connect to the internet for 2 nights which was disappointing so I could not productively work from my room.

Thank you for your feedback. We’re delighted to hear our team provided friendly and attentive service during your stay. However, we’re very sorry for the inconvenience caused by the internet connection issues, particularly as it impacted your ability to work comfortably from your room. This is certainly not the experience we aim to provide. Your comments have been noted and will be reviewed as we work to improve our services. We appreciate you sharing your experience and hope to welcome you back for a smoother stay in the future. Warm regards, Ashleigh
