How are you staying?
Each guide opens the same search with sensible filters already set. You can change them, and every apartment is still one tap away.
Groups and crews
For three or more people, a two-bedroom apartment is often the simplest choice: one kitchen, one front door, and up to six guests. Two one-bed apartments give everyone their own space and bathroom. Search with your group size and we show both options side by side, with live prices once they are switched on.

Why book direct
Book with us here and every stay after that is 10% off. Weekly stays are 10% off and monthly stays 15% off, applied automatically.
TODO How the 10% is claimed (likely a Guesty coupon code issued after the stay), what it applies to, any expiry, and whether it stacks with the weekly and monthly discounts.
The price you’re shown is the price you pay.
You deal with the Oyster Management team directly, not a message relay.
Pick the specific apartment you want, not a room category.
Early arrival or late check-out by arrangement, where the cleaning schedule allows.
Instant confirmation and secure card payment through our booking engine. Your card details never pass through this website.

Meet the team
We’re a small team who look after a collection of boutique apartments on Canterbury Road, a short walk from the harbour and the beach. Every apartment has been furnished and fitted out by us, with quality furnishings, modern appliances and hotel-quality bedding and towels as standard. Our aim is to give you the space and freedom of a private apartment with the service you’d expect from a boutique hotel.
