City Gardens Apartments

Our family of four stayed for 5 nights in June. The apartment is clean and spacious. Kitchen is self catering and fully equipped. Supermarket is 10mins walk away. Strong Wifi connection. Cullen Bay and Mindil Beach is a 5 mins drive away.

Clean, tidy, had everything we needed. Conveniently close to Mitchell Street, without the noise. Great security. Very friendly and helpful staff. Great value for money when a second bedroom is required. The best part was the owner's super flexibility to accommodate a late check-out.

First impressions were a bit disappointing as the overall look was a bit old and tatty but that's really a little harsh as the place is very spacious and well equipped but the appliances are showing signs of age and general damage, hence the tatty feel. It felt clean overall..... although the top of the cooker hood hadn't been cleaned in a while and there was a bottle of water under the bed which wasn't ours! That's being really picky though. There was no one at reception when we arrived mid afternoon on a Sunday and we hadn't received our arrival email as it was sent while we were in flight. Consequently we had to use the emergency phone there and someone talked us through opening the key safe and all was well. The smoke alarm had been removed leaving just the base plate on the ceiling. I am guessing possibly because it's outside the bathroom and the shower steam had been setting it off. It wasn't a worry to us as the building is only 2 floors and we had steps right outside our door, but I suspect this would be in breach of rules and regulations for rentals. It was nice to have a shower that was easy to operate! It wasn't full during our stay but it was very quiet to sleep and we generally didn't hear any noise from neighbouring rooms. It's only a small property with a central pool area which again wasn't noisy. The other thing we felt on arrival was that it was too far out of town. I think being Sunday it felt quieter but in reality it's just a 5 minute walk to Woolworths and proved to be a great location. We really enjoyed our stay and were sorry to leave.

A great place to stay. Pretty setting with lush foliage around. I was fortunate to have a ground floor apartment which also had a small private outdoor area. Easy to access after hours by collecting the key from the lock box out side of the office. Rooms were clean and seemed to have everything you'd need for a stop over. But the very very best part was the jug of cold water that was in the fridge when I arrived. I was so parched after travelling all day, that all I could think of was getting something to drink. It was an absolute relief to find that cold water waiting for me. Stayed in Room 2 and the hot and cold mixwe on the shower is the wrong way around. H is actually cold, and C is hot. Took me while to figure this out and get the shower warm enough to get under. Otherwise a 10/10 place to stay.

My family and I stayed across 2 2-bedroom units for 10 days. They also were able to accomodate my elderly grandparents by providing them with a ground floor unit. The rooms were clean, well-maintained, and well-appointed. Excellent service from Guy, who went out of his way to help us on a number of occasions. Located an easy walk from the main shopping area as well. Wouldn’t hesitate to stay again.
