  We were happy with our accommodation & position of apartments. We felt inside the kitchen cupboards could do with a good clean out. There is a can opener that needs replacing as it is very rusty. Health hazard.

  Loved our stay in no 2 apartment and would stay again. Very peaceful & meditative. Loved the abundant butterflies & birds outside our window.
  Improvement is needed with bedding (mattresses, pillows).
  Loved the pool but would benefit from hand rails as had difficulty getting out. Elderly and disabled would struggle.
  Hot water system went cold at end of stay.

  this was a travel auction, I would advise to check before you submit online before sending quote's. We arrived on the Monday and the apartment was musty and smelt very stale, even after airing as we locked up every time we left and it smelt the same. My husband brought the bin in as it had been emptied, the following morning he went to put some rubbish in the bin, and someone had dumped asbestos in it turned out it was the caretaker who lives by, the bin was emptied the next day and was not washed out and pvc piping was placed in there and he comes to the property to sit and watch from the apartments above us overlooking the pool/spa and comes in to do maintenance for pool etc. without notifying us first, which was a bit disturbing. Also the spa didn't work they didn't let us know that and also didn't notify when it was back working, none of the wooden lounges had cushions. Very basic cooking
  utensils, crockery and saucepans/frypans were quite old needing updated. stove was so old the hotplates were rusty and no handle on oven door OHS issue, the unit needs a lot of renos the bathroom was great that was new but everything else hadn't been updated since it was built many years ago. the outside grounds are not kept very well, paths overgrown with plants, paths not swept, cobwebs everywhere on the building outside, the only thing it had going for it was the location sadly, if I had of known how good no3 was I would have booked that one but property management told me they were the same, which was not true. I filled out the form when we left and dropped it of at the office with keys, the admin lady said they would take it to the next srata meeting, hopefully the council were notified as well. I have not received any updates/outcomes regarding the Asbestos being dumped illelagaly???

  a guest from Flagstaff Hill, SA does not recommend this vacation rental.

  The property was quite dated and really could do with a reno. The toilet seat had to be disinfected because it had not been cleaned from a previous visitor (faeces) and I had to take care of an ant infestation on the inside of the window that faces where the bins are (I had to go to town and get bug spray as there was none).
  The property is well located for the beach and handy to have the pool and tennis courts close by, which we made use of each day.
  Thursday night was peaceful, however Friday night we (including the kids) were kept up until 1.30am with people in unit 3 having a pool party. Loud music, loud swearing and screaming and doing divebombs in the pool etc. No cops on duty anywhere close to enforce curfew so we had to endure it. The next day, the pool area was unusable because there were half eaten raw steak bones on the poolside as well as glass near the BBQ area. Kids were disappointed and we were knackered from being kept up half the night.
  The location is great, but such a shame that it was not the peaceful getaway we'd hoped for.

  We stayed for four nights at the Carrickalinga apartments, unit 2. It was clean and roomy enough for two people. We would have liked to find some salt and pepper and a coffee plunger as these were not things we thought we needed to bring. Otherwise it was well provisioned with crockery and cutlery, if mismatched , but we had to replace batteries for the TV remote. It is a bit tired and in need of renovations but quite adequate for our needs and we enjoyed our stay.

  Jean K recommends this vacation rental

  We had a wonderful relaxing four days at the Carrickalinga Cove appartment. The position of the rental was excellent, within walking distance of the beach and a quiet area where if one had children they could safely go outside and play. The hill in the background was a bonus, it was lovely seeing kangaroos on it in early evening.
  The apartment itself was a credit to the owner, they have tried to make it as comfortable as possible for the visiting guests, even games in the cupboards for children and adults too. Would most definitely recommend. We are already thinking of a second visit!

  On arrival we inspected the pool & barbecue. There were leaves in the pool & the barbecue was so dirty, my husband refused to cook on it. Someone escaped the $50 fine. I did use the spa, & enjoyed it. There were cobwebs under the lazyboys, so didn't sit on them. Sunday morning my husband had a shower, then I went for one, & no hot water. We rang Southcoast Realty & they promptly came . Both gas bottles were empty, so they connected a 9 kg. Bottle to keep us going.Sunday the smoke alarm was beeping, flat battery. My husband tried removing the cover but feared damaging it so we rang again. When we arrived home it had been dealt with. Our stay would have been more enjoyable if these problems had not occurred, & they shouldn't have.
