Stayed for 2 nights in a well appointed apartment. When we first arrived we were informed that we have been upgraded to a beach view apartment. The apartment was very clean with a large bathroom equipped with a nice jacuzzi bathtub. The apartment also has a fully equipped kitchen. This apartment sleeps 5 people with a queen sized bed in...

We ended up here after taking one look at our rooms at The Continental ! The wonderful woman at reception was so kind and understanding of poor experience that she let us look at the room before we paid. It was as she said...renovated but in the old section of the motel. It was clean and fitted the bill exactly.... More

I stayed at Waves as part of a mid-week getaway during the winter. It was quiet and very relaxing and I was extremely privileged to be upgraded to a top-floor ocean view room which was far superior than what I paid for. This level of courtesy is something I am very grateful for, but has not unjustly influence the remainder... More

I always stay at the Waves. The staff are always happy and welcoming. The location is directly across the road from the beach, jetty and playground. The main shopping centre is 10 mins walk away. There is a coffee shop and bike rental shop out the front that sells light meals and great coffee. The underground parking is great in... More

Perfect location on the esplanade of Cowes, great fit-out of the apartment, very comfortable and very friendly welcome at reception. If you are staying overnight to watch the Penguin Parade, this definitely is a very good accommodation option.

This place is beautifully located and has so much potential however for $220 per night I expected more. Our room had a balcony with a very dirty balcony glass door which I would expect the magnificent view should have been what took my attention. House Keeping left our door open all day with all of our valuables at risk. The... More

Large room, 2x bunk beds in kitchen and a queen size bed. Secured garage parking. Be warned that nosey neighbours can look into your unit from the balcony so either drop the blinds or dress decently ;)

I managed to book a private unit (501) situated within The Waves Apartment during the April school holidays. Unlike most of the other units within this apartment block where the bunk beds were essentially next to the meals area or kitchen, this particular unit had a separate bunk room. All the facilities within this unit were pretty new and functional.... More
