Mandalay Luxury Beachfront Apartments Review

With beautiful Four-Mile Beach just outside the back gate and restaurants and shops within walking distance, you can't find a better location than these comfortable, expansive, fully-equipped apartments. Kitchens come with all appliances, including a dishwasher, full stovetop range, and full-size refrigerator, and have everything you need to cook a meal. The regular units are large, but the "Beachfront" units (which cost more, include a two-person spa tub, and which are closer to the beach but not precisely on it) are absolutely huge. You can rent a "1-bedroom" apartment; you get a two-bedroom unit with one of the bedrooms locked off (at the same rate during high season), but you also get two bathrooms, a huge plus. A washer-dryer unit in every apartment is a particularly welcome addition for families, who can also rent strollers and highchairs on site for A$50 per week (each item). Make sure you meet Milo the dog, who might decide to join you on a trip to the beach or even curl up on your sofa if you want some company (in busy times, you might have to wait your turn).
