The photos were a very accurate representation of the apartment. I could not fault the presentation & cleanliness at all.It was a short, easy 20min walk to the centre of activities along the esplanade with dining options closer by.We thoroughly enjoyed our stay & would recommend it to others.

Northshore Tower u82

Fantastic apartment, decorated beautifully with ample amenities. Right on the Esplanade with great views. Beautiful linens and sample bathroom products, plenty of supplies including coffee pods, kitchen and laundry detergents to get you started. Very clean. Would absolutely stay again. The only thing to note is construction noise from hospital next door being extended, and no real access to Rydges complex …. Apartment is in building right next door to Rydges. Parking at night was very limited and often full resulting in parking on street.
