This place is more in the nature of an Airbnb property. It’s advertised as “self-catering”, which is property-speak for, “You do the cleaning, you wash the dishes, you put the rubbish out - oh, and we won’t change the sheets unless you’re staying for 7 nights or more.” It’s in a great location, close to the beach, the tavern, a bus stop and a convenience store (there’s a larger, horribly expensive Night Owl a 15-minute walk back up Trinity Beach Road). Blocks 1 and 2 overlook one of the two lovely pools - and each other, so there’s absolutely no privacy on the balconies. Weirdly, the pool shaded by blocks 1 and 2 is unheated while the one in the full sun is heated. Go figure! The apartment we were allocated was adequate and nicely presented, but we could hear EVERYTHING said and done in the adjoining apartment. Be aware that the WiFi is sporadic. The woman at reception was extremely friendly and helpful at check-in (although she doesn’t like to be interrupted during her spiel), but the minute we had a problem her demeanour changed. Pool towels are $2.50 a pop for the duration of your stay. When I queried that, because I’d never come across it before, she declared, “I won’t argue the toss over $5.” Well, why impose such a silly charge in the first place? Trinity Beach is lovely, but we won’t be staying here again.
