The studio was spacious and clean, and had all the amenities you could ask for. There is ample parking and it’s relatively easy to get into the CBD either by driving or taking public transport. The staff were very friendly and I think the offer of milk is a nice touch, it saves you going to the nearby petrol station which I found to be the only alternative.

Bad experience.
The room smelled bad. There was only one piece of paper in the bathroom and it was already started. none replacement. The blanket covering the bed had dog hair on it and they charge 15 dollars extra for each dog.
