Can be better. Pretty stable investment. Fairly easy to rent out long term. Levies are pretty cheap. 1k for 75sqm. Lagoon nice but stopped going there since it’s too far. Not sure about the new rules. Heard something about limiting access depending on the number of bedrooms.

Not quite true. Residents have a guest allocation (based on their unit size). Non-resident guests above that number are charged. If I was a resident I'd be very much in favour of the limits.

In principle its good. But theres a few flaws. Residents are limited to have guest coming into the estate and not just the lagoon. Heard people complaining they have to go to the gate to open up for their guests.

Owners loses their right to visit if they renting out their apartment. But levies are not split between lagoon access and general levies.

Their rational for limiting the allocation is due to overcrowding. But the prices are the same off peak. If they reaching the peak now and the development is only a third done then the rules will probably be much worse when its completed.

And to give you context when they first started, they only had a 110 sqm unit. Because the sales wasnt great they offered a second type of 2 bedroom of 75 sqm for a cheaper price and 1 bed room at around 40 sqm. Effectively increasing the density of the development.
