Upstairs apartment in central location. 1 king & 1 queen bedroom + single bed. Large open plan living lounge area modern fully decked out kitchen. 1 Bathroom with spa bath and laundry. Desk for working at and large table for meetings or dining. It has everything you need and you can walk to octagon...see other things to note re parking. This is a luxury stay with tons of appeal.
