Why People Love It

- A flat, easy 10-minute walk to Hastings Street and Main Beach
Quick Take: It’s a 1980s-style complex that’s been nicely renovated, but you're here for the river views and the peace, not a marble lobby.
Reviewed by @shyka18: I stayed in Apartment 10 and it was perfect for us. The ground floor access meant the kids could run to the pool while I relaxed on the patio. Waking up to that river view every morning was pure magic. It felt like a real home, not just a hotel.
