Overall the stay was worth the money, we paid about £50 a night ($110 aud). The location is about a 5 min walk to the beach and loads of cafes close by. The car park which costs no extra is a huge bonus. Wouldnt recommend for a romantic holiday or if you want luxury but is great base for exploring sydney - clean, functional, and cheap!!

We ended up with quite a large room as we were put into a family room at no extra charge. The room our friends stayed in was a decent size, about as big as an average hotel room. Rooms were clean and tidy but did smell a little of bleach for our first few days. The rooms have been all newly decorated, but bathrooms are still very much early 80's. Aircon works well, but again is an old unit so is a bit noisy.

We stayed 7 days and our rooms were not serviced. We asked for clean towels but they were going to charge us for them, we had a rummage around in the cupboard in our room and found some spares. There are large bins in the carpark so you can get rid of the rubbish out of your room.

Our room was at the back of the block and looked over a tennnis court (not part of the complex) so at about 7am every morning we awoke to the thwack of tennis balls. Apart from the tennis balls the complex is very quiet. The pool is in the carpark and is tiny, but the beach and a 50m sea pool is a short stroll away so not really a problem
