Bayview Waters Apartments

Disliked · Lets start with the apartment, not the complex as this would be unfair. We were located at apartment number 53 (it is important to remember this) The apartment (on the fourth floor) was in all honesty totally knackered. It was clear not a $had been spent on it for years. The carpet was dirty, badly wrinkled. The lounge furniture was dated and dirty. The internet/TV refused to work correctly most mornings. The curtains and insect blinds were dirty and stuffed. The bathroom shower leaked so badly from the handset that it could not be used. We did mention this to reception and they fixed it over a 2 day period. Both shower mixer and one bathroom basin tap controls were absolutely buggered so getting the right temperature was tricky. Bath was stained as was the shower tiles. The place was basically filthy with dust everywhere. Kitchen, very limited basic cooking utensils. Dishwasher handle had broken off at some stage so getting into it required two hands pulling open from each side. Microwave was mostly unworkable clearly designed by satan. Hot water jug heavily stained with god knows what. Beds in the spare room were solid as marble and the main bed was okay but small. Wardrobes were dusty and dirty as were the bedroom doors. Whole unit needed a fresh lick of paint and change of colour from the depressing monotone cream/beige. Front door resembled something out of 1980's london council tower block with patches of metal and a generally knackered door lock. Sad but not least the toilet seats were cheap and very nasty with one broken. Seriously the owners must be tighter than 2 coats of dulux to rent unit 53 out. Seriously folks stick well clear of this dump of a unit, it's so bad we didn't invite friends around, Ps, management please share this with the owners. Utterly disgraceful.

We stayed in a 2 bedroom apartment with kitchen, washing machine, drier, air conditioner, etc and access to a swimming pool and spa. The spa was a little aggressively bubbly (but that just gave us something to laugh about). Steve the manager was lovely. The place was neat and tidy. The lounge a little uncomfortable, but the beds were nice. Great location. Quiet shops just up the road. Gold Coast just down the road.
