Great studio, everything I needed to prepare some food, even a mini-dishwasher and a washer-dryer. Very clean and smack in the middle of town. I was resting up for a few days from a hiking injury and this was the perfect haven.

Very friendly and helpful staff. I have stayed here previously with absolutely no dramas at all with clean and comfortable rooms and had 2 nights booked again but unfortunately did not get to stay this time around as I was in a car crash on my way to check in however when I called to let them know I won't be staying after all they were very understanding and contacted me the following day to check in and let me know that they held on to my booking for the 2nd night if I needed it. I was very appreciative of their kindness throughout the process. Thank you Tides staff
