Good location, close enough to walk to all the restaurants but far enough away you don't get the noise.

Office staff were absolutely fantastic, helpful and bubbly. Cleaning staff are kind, pay attention to detail, friendly and do their job with class. Perfect location to the wharf, 5 minute walk to town for dining, banks and shopping. Beautiful scenery all round, café on site, delicious food to tempt your tastebuds. Definitely returning.
