Burnie's BEST Apartments: Unbeatable Views & Luxury Living!

Alright, buckle up buttercups, because we're about to dive HEADFIRST into Burnie's BEST Apartments. Forget fluffy brochures, here's the REAL deal, unfiltered, warts and all (mostly… because the warts are probably sanitized away).

Let's Get Real: Is it REALLY Burnie's BEST? My Gut Says… Probably.

Okay, so the tagline slaps, "Unbeatable Views & Luxury Living!" – big claims, right? But like, I've seen some views from hotels that make you want to weep with joy (or, y'know, just appreciate a good sunrise). And luxury? Well, that's where things get…interesting. Let's break it down, shall we?

Accessibility: The Hurdles and the Handrails

First things first, because I’m nothing if not considerate, and I know we all have different needs: Accessibility. Burnie's BEST claims to cater. Facilities for disabled guests are listed, which is promising. Is it a fully accessible palace? Gotta dig deeper. Elevator? Check. Good start. But is that enough? We need detailed info on room accessibility – roll-in showers? Grab bars? This is where the rubber meets the road, folks. More than good intentions. Without solid data, that “claims” part feels a bit… light.

Getting Connected: Internet & Tech – Because, Duh.

Internet access – wireless in all rooms? Thank the gods! I can’t even begin to tell you the pain of paying exorbitant rates for dodgy hotel Wi-Fi. Burnie’s BEST gets a gold star for Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! Plus, they have Internet [LAN] in some rooms. (Remember wired internet? Yeah, good times. For nostalgia’s sake, I appreciate the option even if I've forgotten what a LAN cable looks like). They also advertise Wi-Fi in public areas - pretty standard, but appreciated. Internet services are another thing entirely, though, and I want to know what that means.

• Me rambling: I once stayed in a hotel in Slovenia where the Wi-Fi was so weak, I swear I got better reception from a tin can and string. Horrifying flashbacks. So, good job Burnie's BEST. But really, really make that Wi-Fi strong. Please. For my (and everyone else's) sanity.

Cleanliness & Safety: Can We Relax Yet?

This is where I get serious because, hello, we're living in a pandemic-ish world. Burnie's BEST is flaunting some impressive hygiene credentials. Anti-viral cleaning products, Daily disinfection in common areas, Hygiene certification, Individually-wrapped food options, Physical distancing of at least 1 meter, Professional-grade sanitizing services, Room sanitization opt-out available, Rooms sanitized between stays, Safe dining setup, Sanitized kitchen and tableware items, Staff trained in safety protocol, Sterilizing equipment… WOAH. That’s a lot. It feels a little…over the top? Like they’re trying to win a hygiene Olympics medal. But I’m not complaining! Seeing "Doctor/nurse on call" and "Hand sanitizer" everywhere is reassuring. Seeing "Front desk [24-hour]" is always a bonus. Feeling safe is half the battle of having a good time.

• Anecdote: Once, I stayed in a hotel and the bedsheets smelled…well, let’s just say they hadn’t seen a washing machine in a while. I slept in my clothes. So, Burnie’s BEST, please keep those sheets fresh.

Rooms: Are They Worth the Hype?

Alright, the rooms. This is where things get juicy. Air conditioning? Check. Blackout curtains? YES! (Sleep is precious.) Coffee/tea maker? Essential. The list of available goodies is long – hair dryer, in-room safe box, mini bar, refrigerator, private bathroom, reading light, satellite/cable channels, Seating area, Separate shower/bathtub, Shower, slippers, smoke detector, soundproofing, telephone, toiletries, towels, umbrella, wake-up service, and Wi-Fi [free]. They've thought of nearly everything! (Though seriously, who uses the bathroom phone anymore? Is it even wired to anything?)

• Quirky Observation: The slippers are a nice touch, but are they the fancy, fluffy kind? Or the basic, paper-thin kind that fall apart after three steps? The quality of the slippers will determine the entire experience in my mind. No joke.

And The View? Still waiting…

Exterior corridor. Could be good, could be bad. Depends on how aesthetically pleasing the building is, and the neighbors.

Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: Bring on the Grub!

Okay, food. This is where I spend most of my time. Burnie's BEST boasts some serious culinary firepower. Restaurants, a la carte in restaurant, Asian cuisine in restaurant, Bar, Breakfast [buffet], Breakfast service, Buffet in restaurant, Coffee/tea in restaurant, Coffee shop, Desserts in restaurant, Happy hour, International cuisine in restaurant, Poolside bar, Room service [24-hour], Salad in restaurant, Snack bar, Soup in restaurant, Vegetarian restaurant, Western breakfast, Western cuisine in restaurant… it's a buffet of options!

• Emotional Reaction: A Poolside bar? Yes, please! I can already picture myself, cocktail in hand, sun on my face, and the worries of the world melting away. (If the pool is as stunning as they say the views are, then it really could be paradise.)

Things to Do & Ways to Relax: Spa Day Dreams!

This is where Burnie’s BEST really tries to win me over. The Fitness center? Fine. The Spa/sauna? Okay, getting there. The Swimming pool [outdoor]? Excellent. Pool with a view? We're talkin' my language now. But the big guns are the Body scrub, Body wrap, Foot bath, Gym/fitness, Massage, Sauna, Spa, Steamroom, Swimming pool: This is what I want.

• Anecdote: Years ago, I went to a spa in Bali, and the massage was…well, it was transformative. I felt like a new person. Honestly, if Burnie’s BEST can deliver that kind of zen, they’ve got me.
• Quirky Observation: I'm slightly disappointed there's no mention of "manicure." Seriously, a good manicure can fix anything.

Services & Conveniences: The Little Things That Matter

Cash withdrawal, Concierge, Contactless check-in/out, Currency exchange, Daily housekeeping, Doorman, Dry cleaning, Elevator, Facilities for disabled guests, Food delivery, Gift/souvenir shop, Invoice provided, Ironing service, Laundry service, Luggage storage, Meeting/banquet facilities, Meetings, Meeting stationery, On-site event hosting, Outdoor venue for special events, Projector/LED display, Safety deposit boxes, Seminars, Shrine, Smoking area, Terrace, Wi-Fi for special events, Xerox/fax in business center. . That's a long list. Doorman? Fancy. Daily housekeeping? Crucial. Contactless check-in/out? BRILLIANT. In these pandemic times, this is a giant plus.

For The Kids: Family Fun or Family Run?

Babysitting service, Family/child friendly, Kids facilities, Kids meal. This is great news for families. That said… *can the kids be *quiet?.

Access, Safety/Security Features, and Getting Around: Protecting Your Precious.

CCTV in common areas, CCTV outside property, Check-in/out [express], Check-in/out [private], Couple's room, Fire extinguisher, Front desk [24-hour], Hotel chain, Non-smoking rooms, Proposal spot, Safety/security feature, Security [24-hour], Smoke alarms, Soundproof rooms… Security is paramount. Safety first, fun second.

• Emotional Reaction: Seriously, non-smoking rooms? Absolute GOLD. I can't stand the smell of stale smoke!

Getting Around: Airport transfer, Bicycle parking, Car park [free of charge], Car park [on-site], Car power charging station, Taxi service, Valet parking. Very good to have all these options.

The Verdict: Tempted, But Curious.

So, Burnie's BEST Apartments… the promise is there. The amenities list is extensive. But does it deliver? The cleanliness protocols inspire confidence. The spa facilities have me dreaming of relaxation. However, and this is a BIG however, I need to SEE those views. And I need to experience the luxury.

Okay, buckle up, buttercup! This isn't your sanitized, perfectly-planned travel itinerary. This is real life, unfolding in all its messy, glorious, and sometimes slightly embarrassing glory. Welcome to Burnie, Tasmania, through the lens of someone who probably drinks too much coffee and has a profound love/hate relationship with travel planning.

Burnie City Apartments: A Rambling Itinerary of Likely Chaos

(Pre-Trip Ramblings & General Panic)

• Week Before Departure: Okay, so I, uh, thought I booked the flights. Turns out, I was looking at the wrong date. Cue frantic cancellation fees and a new flight that arrives at like, midnight. Thanks, brain! I guess the silver lining is I’ll have extra time to mentally prepare myself for… Tasmania. Never been. Everyone says it's beautiful. I hope they're right because if this trip turns out to be a flop, I'm blaming the weather. And the penguins.

(Day 1: The Arrival & The Great "Where's the Apartment?" Quest)

• Late Night Arrival (Midnight, thanks to Yours Truly): Ugh. Flights are the worst. Seriously though, I feel like I’ve aged a decade just waiting in the airport. I’ve got this weird feeling like I'm missing something… like underwear. (I'm not.) I've got no concept, and there’s no one in Burnie at midnight. I'm certain my luggage is going to go straight to Antarctica.
• The Apartment Hunt (1:00 AM – 1:30 AM): Okay, deep breaths. Burnie City Apartments. Should be easy. Famous last words, right? Google Maps is currently trying to reroute me through a field of alpacas. I'm pretty sure the address is accurate. I can see the ocean in the distance, however, I am not sure if I can reach it.
• Checkpoint Arrival & The First Impression (1:45 AM): Finally! Found it. The apartment is… well, it's a bit… cozy. Let's call it 'charming'. My first thought: I need coffee and a good night's sleep. My second: Where's the blasted light switch? I hate arriving in places at night. So unsettling.
• Settle In: After a struggle to find the light switch, I finally find my bed. Immediately realize I forgot my favorite pillow. I start to calculate how long until the shops open. I'm going to make myself known to every single coffee shop in this town.

(Day 2: Burnie's Charm - and the Penguin Parade Panic)

• (Morning - Late): I slept in. Shocking, I know. Coffee is brewed and consumed. I stumble around the cozy apartment, looking out the window. Okay, Burnie, you’re starting to grow on me. Maybe the 'charming' assessment from last night wasn't completely off.
• Burnie's Boardwalk & the "Burnie" Experience (Midday): Walk along the boardwalk. See the ocean. Feel slightly less like a disheveled cryptid. I love the wind, the smell, and the view. This is what I needed.
• (Late Afternoon - Early Evening) The Penguin Panic: Okay, so I knew about the penguins. I knew I had to see them. But apparently, I didn’t account for the fact that these little guys only come out at night. I'm supposed to get there before sunset, which means I've got to find out exactly when that is. And hope I'm not too early. Watching penguins is high on my list.
• (Evening): I get there. Too early. I wait. I watch the ocean. And then… there they are! Little, waddling, adorable penguins! They look so cute it's almost annoying. I watch them struggle to walk, which is both cute and endearing! This is the best, most magical travel experience ever. I may have shed a tear. Don't tell anyone.

(Day 3: History, Chocolate, and the Battle of the Bakery)

• (Morning): The rain is just perfect. I'm not going to lie, the rain is fantastic. I'm so relaxed. I'm also a little bit hungover from a bottle of wine. So what? Tasmania is all about comfort. I do need coffee. I need lots of coffee. Time to go find a new shop.
• Burnie Regional Museum (Mid-Morning): Okay, I should be interested in the history. I am interested in the stories. But I'm also slightly regretting not setting an alarm because I'm pretty sure I dozed off. At least the exhibits are good.
• House of Anvers (Late Afternoon): Chocolate. Need. Chocolate. I am now on a mission. I have acquired chocolate. Delicious, melt-in-your-mouth, glorious chocolate. I'm not sharing. This is a mandatory stop.
• The Bakery Battle (Late Afternoon - Ongoing): I saw a bakery. I needed a snack. I enter a bakery and there's a queue. And the smell. Oh, the smell! The smell is amazing. Everyone is staring. Why am I not prepared for this. I can't decide! I will probably buy everything. Or just the whole shop.

(Day 4: Leaving Burnie & Existential Dread)

• (Morning): Wake up. Look around. The apartment is starting to feel like home. It's time to go.
• The Drive: I'm driving. I'm thinking. I hate driving.
• Goodbye Burnie. It was real. It was chaotic. It was messy. And I loved every second.

(Post-Trip Ramblings & Confessions - aka "What I Learned")

• Packing is hard. Always, always.
• Embrace the unexpected delays. They're part of the fun. (Even the ones that involve alpacas).
• Never underestimate the power of good coffee. It's the fuel of the soul (and the sanity).
• Go to the penguin parade!
• Tasmania is more than just beautiful; it's a feeling. It's the feeling of salty air, of rain on your face, and penguins waddling in the night.
• I will be back. And next time, I’m bringing extra socks and a much bigger suitcase for the chocolate.

Okay, so that's my trip… well, the potential trip. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go find that coffee shop… and maybe a bakery. Wish me luck!

Burnie's BEST Apartments: FAQs - Let's Be Honest!

Okay, okay, so what's with these "Unbeatable Views"? Are we talking *really* unbeatable? Because I’ve seen some pretty average "views" marketed before…

Alright, look, I'm going to be brutally honest. I moved up here from… well, let’s just say a *far* less scenic part of the world. And when they said "unbeatable," I kinda rolled my eyes. "Yeah, yeah, everyone says that." Famous last words, right? Then I walked into apartment 14B. Dude. I nearly fell over. Seriously. You’re looking out over Bass Strait. The water… it’s *sparkly* sometimes. Other times it's a dramatic grey, all brooding and moody. And the sunsets? Don't even get me started. My first week here, I actually burnt dinner because I was glued to the window watching the sky turn all shades of orange and purple. It was embarrassing, honestly. But also… glorious. It *is* unbeatable. Unless you count maybe living on a yacht, but let's be real, who *actually* does that? So, yes. The views are… well, they’re the reason I *actually* unpackaged things.

Luxury Living? What's that *actually* mean? Like, is there a butler? (I'm kidding... mostly.)

No butler, sadly. But… luxury living, in this case, means a *lot* of things that make life… easier. Let me paint you a picture. My old place? The hot water would run out halfway through my shower. EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. Here? Unlimited hot water. Seriously, I could probably stand under it for hours if I wanted to. (Don't tell anyone I said that!). The appliances are top-of-the-line. They're shiny. They *sparkle*. My kitchen actually encourages me to *cook*! Which is… a new thing. Plus, there’s a gym. And a pool. And I *think* I saw a sauna. (Still trying to figure out how to use that one). The point is, it's all about comfort. And convenience. You’re paying for it, *obviously*, but it’s kind of worth it to wake up *not* dreading the leaky faucet. This is the kind of luxury where your life feels just a little less chaotic. Until you stub your toe on your way to the fridge, of course.

Parking? Is it a nightmare? I've lived in cities. I know parking nightmares.

Okay, okay, parking in Burnie? It's… well, I wouldn’t say "easy," necessarily, but it's definitely *not* a nightmare. There's secure, underground parking, which, coming from where I was, feels like pure, unadulterated *luxury*. Honestly, it’s one of the biggest selling points. No frantic circling looking for a spot. No worrying about your car getting dinged. No having to walk a mile in the pouring rain. (Hello, Tasmania!) There’s resident parking. You get your own designated spot. It’s pretty sweet. Really. I've actually started leaving groceries *in* the car, just because the parking is so convenient. I’ve probably jinxed it by saying that. Don’t look surprised if you see me frantically looking for a park tomorrow.

Are pets allowed? Because my fluffy little monster is practically family. (He sheds. A lot.)

YES! (Deep breath). Yes, pets are allowed. Thank the heavens. I probably would not have moved in otherwise. I have a cat named Mr. Whiskers. He is… a character. He sheds. Everywhere. Seriously, I found a Mr. Whiskers-shaped hairball the other day that was practically a small rodent. But the point is, they understand. They get it. There are some restrictions (breed, size, etc. - ask the management!), but overall, they're pet-friendly. Which, for me, is a huge plus. The building even has a little "dog park" area! Now, if they could only figure out how to stop Mr. Whiskers from trying to "hunt" the seagulls outside the window...

What about the building itself? Is it noisy? Do I have to worry about terrible neighbors?

Okay, this is a tricky one. Generally, no, it's not noisy. The walls seem pretty soundproof. I haven't heard anything too crazy. But… Let’s be real. People are people. And sometimes, people are… loud. My neighbor, the one with the… *enthusiastic* karaoke setup across the hall, is a prime example. He has a pretty good voice, actually, but his song choices sometimes… leave a little to be desired. Especially at 3 AM. *sigh*. I’ve contemplated moving. Briefly. But then I remember the *view* and the ridiculously good laundry facilities, and I think, "Well, maybe I can learn to appreciate a good power ballad." So far, that hasn't happened. But the building itself is generally very peaceful, and the management is pretty responsive to any issues. You get used to the occasional karaoke. Eventually. Maybe.

What about utilities? Are they included? Extra costs? I'm on a budget, people!

Okay, let's talk money. Because, let's face it, that's important. Utilities are *generally* separate. I believe there are options for some packages, but you'll want to confirm that. Expect to pay for electricity, internet, that kind of thing. And the water bill, which is... well, it's a thing. And then there's the Body Corporate fees, which sometimes I feel like are… well, incomprehensible. I'm awful with math, so just budget a bit extra. It's all laid out when you sign the lease. *Read it*. Seriously. Don't be like me and assume everything's included. Because, let me tell you, the shock of a surprise electricity bill… yeah, been there, done that, and it wasn't pretty. But, overall I think the value for the money is pretty strong. Think about the view again... and those appliances.

Is it close to... well... *Stay Finder Review
