Great property in a lovely location virtually right on the harbour and cafe/shopping precinct. The room was immaculate and spacious, opening onto common lounge and rear balcony, would definitely stay here again!
The accommodation was wonderful. Narell was helpful with clear instruction and Melissa went above and beyond to ensure we could get some laundry done and book us a recommended restaurant for dinner. I didn’t catch his name but we’re also very grateful to a young man who helped carry our luggage upstairs.

A fabulous place to stay. Super quiet, extremely comfortable, and a great size to relax and enjoy some downtime. If you need somewhere for a few nights, Stephanie’s Apartment is a great choice.
