The property is located at the junction of Mill Point Road with Arlington Ave and Gladstone Ave (see Street View on Google Maps for the outside). Our ground floor apartment was a two bedroom one located in the middle of the fully gated complex. Only the few apartments facing Mill Point Road may get some traffic noise during the day but it is quiet at night.

The location is good if you want to be close to Perth but just outside the city centre. The views across the Swan River to Perth are spectacular, especially at night.

Our apartment met with the basic specification, spacious, comfortable and clean but missed the little touches to call it quality. The living room carpet, bathroom and kitchen were all clean and tidy but were all showing the signs of age (probably five to six years old). As with most serviced apartments the kitchen was basic but useable and came with the normal odd collection of cutlery and missing china / glassware (although we never asked for the sets to be made up).

The air conditioning was rather loud but in reality we did not need it, even on the days when the temperature got to 35 deg.

The apartment daily servicing was good, as was the site management. I needed to speak with them a couple of times and each time my query was addressed immediately and affectively.

There is a small supermarket about 200m away and three restaurants within a similar distance.

Buses into Perth stop outside the complex. It is about a 20min walk through the riverside park to the Mends Street Pedestrian Ferry into Perth. If you are moderately fit, one day we did a circular walk, first heading to the Mends Street Ferry, across into Perth, through Perth, or the gardens bounding the north side of the Swan River, then across the The Causeway Bridges and turn right along the river side parks back to the apartment. It is probably about 5 miles / 8km. You could also divert to see the six kangaroos in the reserve on the south-west end of Heinsson Island.

In summary; good location, quiet, secure complex with functional accommodation.

I had this misfortune of staying at this terrible property in Dec 2010.
I stayed at this property for 3 days with a group of collegues on a very busy work trip. In any other circumstance I would have walked right back out the front door upon viewing the room and facilities.

This is supposed to be a Quest serviced apartments property. I cannot believe Quest grant the right for this property to use the Quest brand.
This property is more like a cramped public housing commission development or budget university accommodation.

The property is quite old with a generally poor level of up keep. In addtion to the general POOR QUALITY of EVERYTHING I found;
Dirty kitchen
Dirty couches
Tiny TV's, smaller than laptop screens ( I didnt even know they made TV's that small !)
Ensuite toilet constantly running
Hot water fades in out. Hot water system actually blew up in collegues room.
Bathroom door would not stay closed
Only 1 staff member (owner/manager) ever seen in 3 days with the front office seemingly only open business hours.

I could go on and on.....

DO NOT STAY AT THIS PROPERTY


It appears that many of the units be permanently let to

Quest on Arlington was a disappointment. The oven (which was purchased in the 70's) barely worked (couldn't get it hot enough to boil water), the air conditioner sounded like a helicopter was about to take off in our living space, table chairs were about to fall apart, phone didn't work, couldn't get a hold of reception most of the time. In general the apartments are dated and aren't worth the money you pay. The pool was so small. More than 3 people in there would feel crowded.
