City Gardens Apartments

Our family of four stayed for 5 nights in June. The apartment is clean and spacious. Kitchen is self catering and fully equipped. Supermarket is 10mins walk away. Strong Wifi connection. Cullen Bay and Mindil Beach is a 5 mins drive away.

First impressions were a bit disappointing as the overall look was a bit old and tatty but that's really a little harsh as the place is very spacious and well equipped but the appliances are showing signs of age and general damage, hence the tatty feel. It felt clean overall..... although the top of the cooker hood hadn't been cleaned in a while and there was a bottle of water under the bed which wasn't ours! That's being really picky though. There was no one at reception when we arrived mid afternoon on a Sunday and we hadn't received our arrival email as it was sent while we were in flight. Consequently we had to use the emergency phone there and someone talked us through opening the key safe and all was well. The smoke alarm had been removed leaving just the base plate on the ceiling. I am guessing possibly because it's outside the bathroom and the shower steam had been setting it off. It wasn't a worry to us as the building is only 2 floors and we had steps right outside our door, but I suspect this would be in breach of rules and regulations for rentals. It was nice to have a shower that was easy to operate! It wasn't full during our stay but it was very quiet to sleep and we generally didn't hear any noise from neighbouring rooms. It's only a small property with a central pool area which again wasn't noisy. The other thing we felt on arrival was that it was too far out of town. I think being Sunday it felt quieter but in reality it's just a 5 minute walk to Woolworths and proved to be a great location. We really enjoyed our stay and were sorry to leave.
