Guest Review "Escape to elegance and charm in the Penthouse Apartment above Gympie's ART POST Gallery and Chai Chai Teahouse. As a discerning traveller, I was swept away by the fision of Colonial, Asian and Industrial aesthethics, creating a captivating atmosphere that transported me to international destinations like Singapore, New York or Berlin. By day the bustling commercial precinct energises, while at night, it transforms into a tranquil oasis. The apartments elevated position offers breathtaking views of distant mountain ranges and the town's central arts precinct. The attention to sophisticated design places this apartment on level of its own. Every detail exudes exotic charm, making it an art haven I never wanted to leave. Whether you require a space to escape or an intimate rendevouz, it's all there waiting for you. Truly a unique and unforgettable experience for any traveller" Tamara K.
