Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Reception not open in the mornings for check out. Unit very tired. No side tables by bed (although they did put one in the second night without us asking). Having to ask to get the TV fixed as it didn't work and no hair dryer in the unit as advertised. Sounds like they had just re-opened recently. They were very apologetic for the inconveniences and did give us a bottle of wine for our troubles. Price didn't reflect what was expected.j

The room was nice an spacious, layout of the room was perfectly designed, great for a wheelchair person. Just one thing that maybe need to look at is the little outdoor area. Chair an Table had spider webs, so my wife didn't want to sit outside, looked like no one has touched it or cleaned it for a while. We thought it could be a great area if it had colour instead of a grey wall. Have green turf on the ground, artwork on the wall of the beach an maybe wall of plant boxes with veggies or herbs or just plants would give it life an character. Also add outdoor lounge seats. But that's your call, amazing place to stay.

Spacious and comfortable with heating and spa baths. The spa bath jets didn’t work in one of the units we were in. It is a quiet location. and there is a good cafe over the road and a dairy in close walking distance. There is one car park for each unit. We would stay here again.

Great stay!
My daughter and I enjoyed our two-bedroom unit. The room was clean and well-stocked with amenity. The property across the road from Bay Oval, so it’ll be my pick next time I’m in town for the cricket. Also a short drive to the hustle and bustle of the Mount.

Pleasant stay at Aquarius
Stayed two nights at a one bedroom suite. Our unit is right at the back and it's absolutely silence and we liked that. It's clean, tidy,spacious and has everything we need in the unit. It has air conditioning in the living area but only a ceiling fan in the bedroom so was a bit warm at night for us. It's not right in town and needed a few minutes drive to beach and parking was difficult during busy holiday time. It's good value for what we paid though.
