An overnight stay in the Suite Six Homestay apartment (bedroom and ensuite), and it had all we needed for that. A very comfortable king-size bed, and a nice table... read more and chairs on the deck. We wondered about traffic noise, something we are not used to, but didn't really notice it during the night, only after 7.30am. Also under the flight path to the airport, but not a lot of planes. It is very handy to Bayfair for shopping, and the beach is only a short walk away. Good tea and coffee making facilities with a coffee percolator and a small bottle of milk, thank goodness no little milk pottles. Opted not to have the continental breakfast as handy to Bayfair for a cooked breakfast.
