Lake Wendouree Luxury Apartments

Overall pretty good with great location Digi access with pin was also very easy

Bed very comfortable and warm, apartment warm and cosy, decor nice. Reasonably clean however with the title of 'Luxury' in it, not clean enough. Bathroom particularly could have done with a much more thorough cleaning. Also, the car parking spot wasn't good! (only one spot though - we managed to get the bad one). When we arrived it was dark and confusing where to park and was an old shed which was extremely small, old and dark (suggest at least put some lights up). Very hard to get in and out of. One of the other parking spots closer to the apartment would have been better. Maybe a few more provisions in the kitchen, i.e. maybe another little milk and some little biscuits or something. Was adequate, however if you say 'lux' then probably just needs a bit more. Location good and suited our needs.

Cons ...I chose this accommodation due to the pictures and facilities that were offered. I am most disappointed with not having a properly working gas heater in the apartment. I was expecting a log gas heater as stipulated but instead an old gas heater that has a fault in the filter and turns off. The other heater/cooler is not big enough for the floor space and took up to 3 hours to heat the room. As for the tiny heaters in the bedrooms that don't heat up anything. The bathroom lights/heat thing has one glob not working. The fan/light in the living room doesn't work. We tried as stated in the rules to turn it on. And yes we turned it on at the wall and tried the remote it came with. Motor needs repairing. As for complementary toiletries, four adults have to share one tiny shampoo and conditioner bottle and two small soaps for 3 nights. Lucky I took my own soap. One a 1/4 roll of loo paper as well. Not a big deal but for the amount paid, I should not have to bring my own loo paper. It took me so long to find cups, plates ect. That were spead out in diffrent cupboards. Put coffee cups in the cupboard above the kettle or even Maybe have them altogether to make it easier to find. I have stayed in some lovely places and unfortunately was very disappointed in this one for the price. This is a very expensive place to stay for very little. Coming from a warm climate to Ballarat and not being able to get warm is the most disappointing thing of all. No Netflix as stated, but a very old Austar set up. Lots of things on the facility page that definitely were not included. Perhaps state which apartment has what in your advertisement to help people make a choice. I thought they would all have the same amenities. At least the basics anyway. Paying almost $1000 for 3 nights I could have been in Palm cove for a week at Peppers Beach club. I might suggest to maybe put usb outlets in so travellers don't have to bring their own plugs. Pros... The only real positive thing was the main bed. Very comfortable and large. Was quite clean except the sheet wasn't on properly and wasn't folded under mattress as you would expect.

Immaculate, homely, faultless - right down to the variety of pillows. Can I find a fault? hmm, how about: there was no tray in the en suite shower (the main bath’s shower had a soap tray). That’s it. I will always avoid bnb’s but we had no choice this time due to our extra person. The photos are accurate, the process was seamless, our stay was quiet and lacking nothing. The location is a little out of town but two fifty-somethings and a seventy-something still managed to walk in, around and home again just fine. The area is dead quiet, close to lake, close to an IGA for supplies. Honestly, I can’t fault it. We had unit 1 for two nights, would definitely stay again. Unit 1 is 1st floor and up stairs. Be sure to check first if this matters to you. Parking is on site, not covered but fairly discreet from street (in a good street, we weren’t concerned about security whilst there).

Grove Street apartment was very modern and suited our needs. Beds were very comfortable and warm with the electric blankets. The gas heater provided warmth in the loungeroom along with rugs provided. Bathrooms were clean although the the basin in the ensuite was tiny that water kept going on the floor. Parking was convenient and the view was more from the bedroom than the loungeroom. Location was good as close to the lake if you wanted to go for a walk (disappointed we couldn't as it was raining while we stayed there) and to a few local coffee shops.

The apartment was a large run down apartment straight out of the 1980's. Heating was limited and mainly provided through the AC in the sitting room. There is only one bathroom and no separate toilet. The kitchen was poorly equipped with a stove with a couple of elements that didn't work.
