Fun Next Step for Youngsters Just Beginning Their Journey In This World
The gym and all other amenities are really nice. The gym also has informational posters, so even if you’re just starting your fitness journey, you can still use all the machines without feeling overwhelmed or embarrassed. They’ve also got regular resident events, through which I’ve made a lot of new friends.
Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
It’s a very walkable area. There’s a ton of places and things to do; as well, as places to get my hair, brows, makeup and other done. If it’s not walkable, I can also take the bus or the tram; both of which are really affordable.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
I had received help within 10 minutes of having issues with my washing machine:
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
I didn’t realise that I had to complete a waiver prior to my first gym visit. Don’t worry, it all worked out in the end

A safe and fun place to live
The building’s design is curated beautifully and it feels very lux every time you enter. There is always a smiling face at reception, who will help you with anything you made need. (Thank you Belle!)
The facilities are all brand new and work really well. There are also social events that are great spaces to make friends and feel more comfortable. The charcuterie event was super fun!
Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Great range of shops, cafes, restaurants and pubs. Also beautiful living next to the sea with great walks along the coast. Unfortunately due to a fire, the trams are not running for a month or so, but there are buses available.
As a woman who lives by herself, I feel very comfortable walking around and also very secure when coming home as there is always someone on reception who'll keep an eye out.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
My fob wasn't working and they fixed it straight away. There haven’t been any other issues!
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
They are quite open with everything when showing you around and will answer any question you may ask. Wish I’d have known about the pet waver so I could’ve been more prepared to fill it out before moving in!

Not worth the price.
There are a number of frustrating processes. Works are not complete and on several occasions there have been inspections, changes, and so on. The key provisioning system is overly strict and inconvenient.
Staff change frequently, the turnover is not good. The staff themselves are lovely but there are different staff members every few months.
Rent is egregiously expensive for the location. Facilities not worth the prices being charged. The electricity provider went bankrupt and the entire building were instructed to save the electricity bill as it would be charged once a new provider was decided. This was highly inconvenient for financial planning and general feelings of security.
The main door does not open automatically from the inside, you have to wave your hand over a sensor on the right hand side.
Area is extremely windy and side doors are occasionally a bit dangerous to open.
Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Ocean Terminal is quite dead. There is nothing in the area. It is located far from the city, and while there is a convenient Tesco and Aldi nearby, there is little to nothing happening at all. The tram stop is convenient and well located.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
No issues. They respond fast and any issues have been fixed promptly.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
It is very far from the city centre. At least 25-30 minutes by bus or tram. And very, very windy.
