10/10 Exceptional

So far so good. The design of the building has cleverly incorporated the particular angles & slants of walls & corners to ensure that no one else in the other units can see their neighbours either from inside or from the private balcony Suits me for the time being. The cleaning staff are very helpful & friendly. A couple of standard items broke in the unit as in the hairdryer & the kettle but thats to be expected when these items are constantly used by ever

The apartment was not as shown in photos with multiple holes in walls and damage. While inside was not to bad, it was very dirty outside the apartment.
Sarah Kate, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Apartment was very tidy and plenty of room and would probably stay there again. The only issues were that the shower constantly dribbled all night (needs new washer). Car parking was good the first night. Someone took our park the second night. We had to park on the street. 2 or 3 broken cars around the property made it look untidy.
Wayne, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Do not believe what you see with the pictures they post of this property it is disgusting inside and out. The unit was not clean at all hair and food on the floors, the bathroom tap had literally fallen off and the windows in the bedrooms did not close. I.was told 3pm checking in we didn't get in untill after 4pm as the cleaner was cleaning the unit. They say no smoking but the whole unit block inside is filled with cigarette smoke which filters into the apartments. DO NOT STAY HERE

Broken blinds, broken toilet, broken shower tap

2/10 Poor

Firstly the place & surrounding didn't feel safe, unit had dirty feel, no blinds on main bedroom, the sound from neighboring property's were disturbing. The carpark had run-down cars with smashed windows, after looking at google reviews stating that a car had been stolen, blood on walls etc, we felt it wasn't safe for our young family to stay at this location so after 20-30 minutes we vacated
Bryce, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

The beds were comfy.Shower pressure was good, The chairs were metal outdoor chairs as dining table chairs very noisy everytime you moved.Very uncomfortable sit on. The balcony chairs were foldable chairs in very poor condition. The couch wasnt comfy and was squeaky. No tv remote. Dryer in the dining area,one balcony door didnt lock! Floor was sticky. Carpet was worn out in many spots. Warped cupboards in bathroom.
Dale-Lyn, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great location for being close to shops. Was upgraded for free. But place needs to keep on maintenance as shower door missing.
Brett, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

Large house, enough beds Evening things with in the reange. Very old carpet which made two of our people sick such as itching, sneezing

4/10 Fair

This property is not as it appears. The foyer lock did not work meaning the o ly barrier between you and your belongings is 1x coded door. I questioned how often the code is changed and received no response. There was 1x knife on the drawer which had rust on. The rooms were dirty and had stains all the walls and curtains. The drawers in the kitchen were also dirty. The sofa was so old and broken I used a coat to sit on. I wedged cushions behind the door to prevent entry. There were sirens and noise often and broken cars that have clealry not been moved in quite some time. It was the most unsafe I have ever felt.
Jodi, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Good TV. Overall dirty and in a poor state of repair. Lacking kitchen utensils and crockery, very noisy, less than friendly neighbours.
David, 4-night trip

2/10 Poor

Check-in details out of date, poorly maintained (broken blinds, shower screen, no cupboard doors), wet/dry towels left in washing machine/dryer, remote for AC didn't work, beds were uncomfortable.

6/10 Good

Blind missing in bed room , the other wasn’t working , lounge dirty , above dryer full of dust , No coat hangers , very noisy room

2/10 Poor

Accomodation is absolutely filthy. Every piece of furniture is damaged and disgusting, floors were sticky and unclean, the sink had mould in it. Looks nothing like the photos and the area is very dodgy. The accomodation is almost certainly commission housing being rented out illegally. Avoid at all costs, stay away.

2/10 Poor

Other than being close to food shopping there is not one thing positive about this place. Disgusting Everything is broken Crumbs in beds Stains on sheets Doors broken Blinds broken Remotes don't work as batteries missing Toilet seat unattached Uncomfortable beds I have travelled a lot for business and this is BY FAR the worst place I have ever stayed at. Do yourself a favour and never stay here!!! It makes sense now why this was the last one available In future I would travel further. Avoid at all costs
Stuart, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

The property was very dusty and the room was quite stuffy. The couches were worn out and the bathroom door lock was broken which caused us to be locked out of the bathroom, there was no sanitary bins in the bathroom either. The linen wasn’t allergy friendly and the quality should be improved. The beds are sagging causing discomfort when sleeping. Otherwise the apartment is a good size and provided towels:)
CHARMAINE, 5-night trip

4/10 Fair

The property has a great layout and was in a fantastic location for us. Was really pleased to see it had an ensuite and a bathroom, when we only expected 1 bathroom! However it was not clean, blankets had been shoved into cupboards, floors had dirty crumbs floating around, the courtyard was unkept, the bathrooms had not had the vanity wiped prior to our stay. The people running the apartments were rude. We got charged an additional $9 for a meaningless admin fee which we had not expected. We have stayed a few times in properties run by Newcastle executive apartments and found the customer service to be very below parr each time.
Jennifer, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Unfit for occupancy. Second floor sash windows had no screens with windows open on arrival, a child would easily fall out. Lounge suites that were torn and dirt and wouldn’t look out of place on a rednecks front porch as a dogs bed. Blood splatters on the back of the bathroom door. Empty toiletry packaging on floor under the vanity. Nail polish spread throughout the apartment. Unserviceable lock on sliding door. Kids drawings on most walls and blinds. Broken glass and glitter on the floor. Highlight of our stay was departing with all four wheels and no broken windows on our car.

2/10 Poor

Do NOT stay here. Cleanliness was beyond substandard/non existent, beds had springs sticking through to the point where we got an air mattress out of the car. The worst part was getting back after a concert to find that a “cleaner” had been in well after check in time to set up an extra bed that we didn’t need, and had left the front door wide open and the back door unlocked when everything had been secure when we left. Several complaints were met with dismissive comments and not even an attempt at an apology. Bathroom leaked to the point where the carpet outside was wet (leak was under the floor, not in the bathroom). Place hadn’t been properly cleaned in ages, and the kitchen did not contain basic items despite being advertised as being fully equipped - for example, no washing up liquid, chipped plates, no tea towels. There were cockroaches in the kitchen cupboards, and stains on the bathroom floor mats.

2/10 Poor

The property had many things that needed attention and looked like it was in the middle of renovations. There was a shower screen that was broken off and stored at the top of the built in wardrobe that looked like it could have fallen out on someone.The smoke detector was also removed and stored in top of the wardrobe. The beds were poor quality and bowed. The external doors did not look like they closed properly and some of the internal door hardware was not fastened properly. The property was also not cleaned well enough. We thought that we must have been given the wrong unit number and that it wasn’t ready to be stayed in. When we rang to say we weren’t comfortable staying there and if they had a different unit to move to we were moved to a much nicer unit at a different property. We appreciate the customer service and the upgrade to a much nicer property in a nicer part of town. We won’t be staying at the bluefin apartments again and would not recommend the apartments to others but we appreciated the approachable staff who accomodated our late request to move elsewhere.

2/10 Poor

Trust the reviews!!!!! We were booked to stay at Blue Gum Apartments for 2 nights. We arrived at 4:30pm to find that our apartment was still being “cleaned”. We sat with our children in the car until 5:00pm waiting for the room to be ready. On entry to the property we noticed multiple shopping trolleys and used mattresses. Whilst waiting we witnessed cleaners throwing towels and sheets over third storey balconies onto dirty wet concrete below. There was no care given whatsoever! I believe we were quite patient considering checkin was 2pm. Once finished we had to step over towels and rubbish to enter the building. The room was basic. No bedside lamps, no artworks on the walls. Filthy! Our children even decided to put their socks back on after their shower. The bedspreads were dirty, the vanity is well beyond needing replacing, the shower was mouldy and there was not even a soap holder. The balconies and windows were putrid! It was just plain disgusting. We are so disappointed, as we have stayed with Newcastle Executive Apartments on multiple occasions at their properties in Charlestown, Hamilton and Wallsend, which were all excellent locations and we couldn’t fault them. We decided to leave after one night because to be honest we was appalled and disgusted with this property. We didn’t feel safe at all. It’s been a week and I still haven’t received any communication from the manager even after sending email and text message. Appalling!!!!!!!!!
