Parking or lack thereof

Pyke · AU · 2026-07-24

We were sorry that we got a room with the spath as we didn’t use it

7.0

The location views and access to transport and Harbourside

The difficulty in accessing the spa bar for a shower was a feature that we disliked. After we had a shower, the access points and tiles became very slippery which could easily have resulted in an injury.
