They didn’t have our check in details and no room had been booked. We were told they don’t usually take bookings from Wotif. They gave us a room after a while but this confusion shouldn’t happen. Certainly not the attending staffs issue but there is an issue

Staff very friendly and helpful. Felt very safe in that property. Very convenient and affordable. Perhaps the only thing I disliked was the lawn mowing early in the morning which disturbed our sleep.
