Pelican Place - Beach Retreat

Spacious Manly apartment Positive: Communication with Stuart was excellent and timely. Keycode access made checking in simple. The 4 bedroom apartment was ideal for our group of six ladies. Negative: Disappointing to see single use toiletry products in use.

Basic accomodation with limited amenities available. Positive: Host was responsive and we appreciated early check in to leave luggage and late check out before airport. Location was good as short walk to the beach. Negative: Amenities were lacking on arrival: no bin bags, no washing machine powder, no dish drying towels or cloths. The images booked were not the same as the apartment provided [breakfast island, decor etc was not as per images]. No plates, knives, forks, limited number of glasses and mugs for number of guests. The host did sort it out the following day after our arrival but still limited supply of crockery. The apartment and bathrooms were not super clean and one shower overflowed into hallway area. Despite beds being made, it did not appear to have been not been prepared with attention for our arrival - towels were in a pile on the sofa for us to select [not placed in rooms]. We specifically planned a BBQ one evening and asked about BBQ before arriving and the one to use was broken. No bathmat so had to use towels on the floors. Overall we were quite disappointed as are easy to please guests but we kept encountering inconveniences in the facilities.

Great location Positive: Booking . Com has a very deceiving way of advertising the two properties ( there’s a top floor and a bottom floor) by putting all the pics together so I though I booked the bottom one but turned up to be the top one which was ok but not the one I thought I booked. Host was ver accomodating though Negative: It was all good

Location perfect for a group Positive: Great location, clean apartment and host easily contacted. Good facilities, but if someone else was downstairs it could have been a bit close. Had to ask for some supplies. The cleaners should have checked what was needed. Negative: We rented the top and bottom apartments for a group of us. The apartment downstairs was really well stocked and the one we stayed in wasnt. It appears that everything migrated downstairs, from previous tenants. Also we only had 7 chairs for 8 of us. I particularly didnt like the toilet position in the main room. The third bathroom flooded as well. We didnt have any gas for the bbq so had to contact the owner who promptly bought another one around, but it should have been checked. No tea towels either.

Stuart was very accommodating, great communication and nothing was a bother. Great welcome treats as well. Thankyou. Positive: Location, but also had comfy beds. Glad it had air con as it was a very hot weekend.
