8 'Cote D'Azur' 61 Donald Street - central apartment, air conditioning, complex pool

A modern apartment with plenty of space for a couple or young family. Comfortable bed in main bedroom, well-equipped kitchen. Secure undercover parking.

Lounge was comfortable but a couple of seat backs were in need of repair, the exhaust fan didn't work in the ensuite and the shower in the ensuite leaked. General cleanliness was probably adequate but the fridge was quite grubby and the oven was actually pretty disgusting. I guess none of the gripes were major, but we've been in units that appear to be a little more loved than this one. Would rate it 3.5 stars rather than 4 if I could.

No view to speak of (and none expected) but quiet location in Winter (could be noisy near the pool and BBQ area in Summer) and close to the centre of town. On balance would be prepared to stay there again - pretty good value at the price charged.

We booked this apartment as a the last minute decision. The apartment is well laid out and accommodates a family of 3 well. The location of the apartment in the complex is directly above a walk way making it very noisy. The insulation between the apartments is also lacking so you hear everything from upstairs down stairs and right next door. The common wall is onto the master bedroom and was very noisy with a family with small children in the adjacent apartment. The images shown are accurate of the apartment BUT from the verandah you are looking over a car park and the roof of the Woolworth NOT the swimming pool. This was really disappointing. The pool was lovely but small & being high summer was very busy from opening till closing so getting a toe in was challenging. The TV is very small. The kitchen is under supplied. 3 drinking glasses is not sufficent and a 2 slice toaster is not acceptable. The pots and pans are also so average that even cooking breakfast was difficult. Improving these simple things would be a great improvement. The apartment is good value for peak season in Nelson Bay.
