Central Style - The Mount - with Pool, Spa & Gym

ScottRating, 5 stars4 months ago

Wonderful place! Everything in great condition, unit very clean and well equiped. Would absolutely stay again. Also pool was lovely, hot tub fantastic for cooler days. And all common facilities well maintained. Nice location slightly out of town, flat and easy walk in. Meant we had a quiet night sleep in a busy town! Hayley was really quick to respond to messages and everything was as stated (I’d argue even nicer than the photos).

A refreshing pool area is surrounded by lush greenery, featuring sun loungers positioned for relaxation. Tropical palm trees sway gently in the background, and an adjacent building provides shade throughout the day. The clear blue water invites leisurely swims under a bright, sunny sky.

Lake Front Luxury

TanyaRating, 5 stars3 months ago

We were there to support friends doing the Ironman. The place was perfect!! Walking distance to the swim and transition area, and the marathon course came past us on both sides, so very handy for popping out to cheer our friends on, but then returning to relax in cool comfort in between. A very large clean and comfortable apartment, that we loved. Great water pressure in the shower; comfortable beds. Easy parking and access, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this place, or to stay again.

Unique Redwoods Lodge With Heated Pool+Spa+Sauna

CindyRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

What a beautiful home for a family getaway! It surpassed our expectations, and they were high. Sarah and Darren have thought of absolutely everything and it is all top quality and so comfortable. One of my aunties marvelled that her bed was so good, she woke up without the usual aches and pains. Located just up the road from the redwood forest and tree walk, and only a few minutes from town, yet private and quiet, it was a perfect escape. Now we want to stay again during summer to make the absolute most of the fabulous pool and outdoor areas. Highly recommend!
