I feel the property was a premium price for worn/old rooms. The TV was tiny and in a poor location, the pool hrs closing at 8pm was too early. The dishwasher leaked. Bed was comfortable and rooms clean. Staff were lovely on arrival and departure.

Didn’t like that we didn’t know about the building cleaning, restaurant closure for a wedding prior to booking. Aircon leaked in the room and made a terrible smell. Also happened to be the oz tag competition which meant lots of noise. Restaurant was mediocre at best, no table cloths, food was expensive but not wonderful. Not an enjoyable experience.

Everything was fine except room was stuffy and musty when we arrived. Parking was not great. We checked in after dark and carpark was full so we parked in a grassed overflow area which was a bit muddy. Staff were all friendly and courteous. Requested a late checkout but they said it was not possible.

Room needed updating. Room or Patio was not somewhere I would want to spend any time. The room we were given was in back end furthest point we could be from anywhere. Multiple sets of stairs up and down to get to unit. Had to ask staff to help us find it as it was hidden in back corner and even they had to look to find it. Not fun when you’re loaded down with luggage and have to backtrack up and down stairs. Would not book again.
