Beautiful place to stay! Great amenities with 2 large pools, within close walking distance to Tedder Ave where there is shopping and restaurants and of course main beach!
Building Management were lovely, welcoming and friendly! Would highly recommend staying here!
Unit was a bit dated but it was clean, tidy and ample amount of space!
Thank you to the Contessa for a wonderful holiday.

The indoor pool was fantastic! we didn't have great weather so made wonderful use of indoor pool and spa. The outdoor pool was large and the grounds were immaculate. The only downside was no BBQ - easily fixed.

Hotel was nice- room spacious and ideal for our purpose. Lovely sea view. Swimming pool great for the little one. Ideally situated in a lovely area that doesn’t feel too ‘holiday resort’.
Cockroaches in bathroom but that’s Australia! Aircon not working in bedroom- had to manually reset outside every time.
No hangers in any wardrobes.

The property is located at the Main beach which is a prime area. Short stroll to the beach, park, cafes & tram stop should you wish to roam around. This well equipped & managed building has 35 levels with undercover car park has indoor & outdoor pool, spa, sauna, gym & tennis court. We were at the 25th level with sea facing view which was simply spectacular. The rooms are clean, has fully equipped kitchen, central Air condition, TV w foxtel and laundry facilities that makes your stay comfy. In short a luxurious apartment with a view & ample of amenities.

The apartment was well furnished and stocked. It was very clean.
The thing that absolutely sold it to us, was the stunning view.
Waking up to it every morning was incredible.
When we come back to the G.C, we will be staying here again.
Free parking was also a bonus.

The irons didn't work. One had paint coming of the ironing plate and the other one didn't work. Not a big fan of tv checked out the foxtel and it didn't work ether. eg It would not register.
