We had an amazing stay and honestly didn’t want to leave. It wasn’t just the lively artistic laneway and the coffee-loving vibe of the city that made us want to stick around, but also the five-star luxury that made us excited to head back to our sky-high, one-bedroom apartment each night. There, we could enjoy a cosy, comfortable sleep, all while soaking up the incredible views of the city. Just wow.
When we arrived, the apartment was spotless, and had everything you’d expect from a five-star aparthotel – except a coffee machine. But with so many fantastic, award-winning coffee spots right outside, we didn’t miss it at all.
The building’s facilities were fantastic. The gym, sauna, steam room, pool, lounge, and outdoor BBQ area were all clean, modern, and had amazing views. The outdoor hot tubs were, well, hot. Sadly, the indoor spa pools weren’t always hot enough. A handy tip: if you plan to use the sauna (we didn’t have the same issue with the steam room), make sure to press the green button outside by the door to activate it. Do this a while before you want to use it, as the sauna only hit around 45 degrees, which was fine for a long session, but didn’t quite get to the "sauna sweat" level.
There were bathroom amenities provided, but they were on the cheaper side and came in tiny plastic tubes. If you care about the environment, I’d recommend bringing your own shower products. Also, just a heads-up about the shower – it wasn’t as powerful as we expected.
