Nothing good.about this place apart from the fact its cheap. And nasty. You book for 2pm check in they tell you its actually 3pm then say not ready until 7pm. Hopeless! Aircon doesn't turn off. No fan in bathroom complex is noisy and backs onto main road, do yourself a favour and dont stay here

The apartment was neat and mostly clean. Unfortunately the area is noisy with neighbours constantly slamming door and screaming. Stairway is dirty and full of rubbish. Allotted parking always taken by others

I did not recieve all & when I tried to ring to see if it could be sent to my phone the automated answering system could not help at all. As we had an important engagement to attend we gave up in disgust and found alternate accommodation at another location. This therefore cost me extra and almost ruined our day Both myself and my wife are sure that we will not use you again

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.

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

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

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.

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:)

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.

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.

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.

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!!!!!!!!!
