Considering what I paid per night the property overall exceeded my expectations.I remember on Saturday night it was super busy around Scarborough and I was easily able to get a car spot cause ov the onsite carpark.if there was no onsite car parking then I would have had to walk some distance back to the property

Stayed here a week was perfect
I’ve read some of the reviews and I’ll be honest here the place is a little run down but in saying that for the price we had a really nice 2 bedroom apartment with comfortable beds - kitchen with all the requirements we needed - AC - the location is in ear shot of the beach - once again location close to everything - off road parking - No issues Hot water/showers all great - we did quite a few road trips and this place was perfect for road trips north, east and south - great place to stay and I’d stay again - and the hosts friendly and helpful - on a budget looking for a great place this is it

Great location. Extremely affordable. Nothing glamorous (hence the price). If you aren’t picky about looks, and just want to use it for a bed, it is perfect. So close to the beach, many good restaurants and bars, beautiful scenery.

Very close to Scarborough Beach and shopping facilities. The staff were very helpful, the only two things I can pick on. One, the microwave was broken however that issue was rectified immediately. The other, is the hot water in the shower doesn't get very hot, that seems to be a limitation of the 3 phase electric instantaneous hot water system in the property.
It was clean and comes with a mini kitchenette(which was a must for my family and I).
The apartment, although spacious, is a little tired. Whilst I appreciate that it is a budget property, the floors throughout were not clean. after walking barefoot for 5 mins, the soles of my feet were black.
The bed was very comfortable.
The light in the kitchen did not work.
An appearance by the owner/management would have been appreciated.
The first night we didn't have hot water. When it was fixed there wasn't much. It was just old and run down. Needed lots of work. Picture really doesn't tell the story . Nothing like the picture empty pool that looks disgusting
Property was very clean and located close to the beach, walking paths, shops etc. We were there in Winter so the heating was disappointing and the shower was only luke warm at best.

If you want a cold shower in winter, enjoy. The place is very run down and the photos are deceptive.
There were clean towels to use. This property needs to be updated into this century & at least some kitchen cupboards or bench and a freezer section of the fridge that's not iced up. The outside condition of the units also needs a complete overhaul & I'm not sure if it was inspected whether it would pass. However, I'm sure others would be happy just to have somewhere to stay. & that works. We picked the key up from a box & returned it the same way so I cannot really comment on staff & service.
As it turns out I couldn't actually stay at the appartments as the booking was incorrectly allocated to a month after I was there for the trip. SB appartment staff were amazing and followed up a month later to assist with a refund even though lastminute.com were no help at all. Highly recommend Scarborough Beach appartments for accommodation but would be booking direct or through a different provider in the future.

Unit old, but very clean. Close to beach, restaurants and supermarket. Traffic noise a bit overwhelming at times but earplugs helped at night.
Excellent location. Walk to beach and restaurants. Clean tidy and spacious. Very friendly & accommodating staff. Bit noisy next to intersection. Great value for money. Highly recommended
A very affordable unit close to amenities.We were looking for value for money as we had planned appointments and these units were fercet for our budget and very clean.

The place was fine for our needs, but could use a picture on the wall or two to brighten it up a bit.
The property was clean and very basic but the price is reflective, it is very close to Scarborough beach and all of those facilities they offer. we had 3 adults staying and for us something simple like the lack of enough toilet paper was disappointing. otherwise great stay

Budget apartments worth considering...
I picked these apartments because of location which was close to the official Hotel for a sporting event I was attending... It was cheap $100 for a two bedroom apartment, so I expected a budget level accomodation. My first experience was before I left home my flights were changed and I contacted them to see if I could drop off my bags... Cara rang me back and managed arrange early access which was awesome... the apartments are in an old building which needs work and the pool was empty But the rooms are large, uncluttered and clean. Most importantly for me the shower was hot!!! I’d 100% recommend these apartments for a budget stay!!!
