Arrived at 8pm on a Friday night, by 8.20 the only food available was a packet of potato chips from the pub, or a 20min trip to Beaudesert. Fortunately the staff were kind & cooked us a bowl of hot chips, despite the kitchen being closed. Much appreciated, as we’d driven 6 hrs to get there. There was no heating in our bedroom & 3deg temp, & our door was unable to be locked with or without the key. Black hairs on the bathroom wall, dust & cobwebs everywhere, nowhere to sit with a meal, though there was ample room for a small table & chairs, terrible smell from the bathroom drain, doors partly hanging off, over bath shower is unsafe, due to the height to get into it

Just okay

Shower entry dangerous. Supposed to be a spare, but no plug, rendering the tub being unsafe for a shower. Being a disabled veteran I found this disconcerting. The room had a smell to it. In the end it was a bed for the night, but far below the standard for the price.

$39 drinks wasn’t worth a roast beef and pork. Roast of the day are pubs cheapest meals. I know it’s not a pub. For two people it was cheaper by $4 to walk to the pub, where we had steak and Solomon and drinks. Then walk back in the moon light…

This was my second stay at the hotel. This time, it was difficult to book a buggy tour at our preferred time. The restaurant had a limited variety of food — only lamb meat was available. The jacuzzi in the pool area wasn’t working properly. The room’s air conditioning was very noisy, and the bathroom drainage was poor. There was no microwave or plates available in the room. We also experienced long waiting times at reception, and the free Wi-Fi did not work inside the room.

What a disappointment, a dilapidated, spartan, and a poorly maintained complex. It's as though the maintenance staff are on strike, the water features at ground level have been abandoned and become feotid cess pools and the buildings crumbling. Rooms had no chairs, no coffee table and only one cluttered miniscule bedside table, the fridge near new but hasn't ever been defrosted, the rest of the furnishings very tired and cockroach infested. For a supposed resort, the poor standard of the facilities and attractions, few of which were free I will hasten to add, really did beggar belief. Given it is now Qld school holidays and there were next to no patrons, it felt like a ghost town and we were relieved to depart.

Very tired, needs life back into the resort considering many people come and play golf there, the resort is terrible. They need more tables and some fans near the golf club bar so you can sit back and enjoy a drink. It was so hot that we didn’t even finish our drinks. The restaurant food was overpriced for what they served out.

Over the Christmas holidays I stayed here with friends from interstate. We were very disappointed from arrival to early departure. The resort has so much potential however is not being advertised accurately. Very misleading. The level of cleanliness in our room was unacceptable, cockroaches, mouldy shower curtain, water that smelled, well, like it was potentially contaminated, the pools were unhygienic to swim in, limited food options and little recognition for our concerns from staff and management were unavailable. I resisted writing a harsh review for weeks but on reflection it had a big impact on our time and finances and overall joy during the holidays. Read the reviews before you book.

I read the varying reviews on this hotel and I was a little wary but tbf we had no issues with the place. Yes it’s dated but it sort of goes with the wackiness of it all. Good sleep, decent room with a view, great breakfast and all within a reasonable price. The view from upper rooms are just worthy of * themselves. Don’t be put off by bad reviews the hotel is fine and cheap.

I regret booking a stay at this resort. From the moment I arrived, it was clear that cleanliness and maintenance were not priorities. The rooms were filthy, with visible mould in the bathroom and a damp, musty smell throughout. The furniture was old, worn out, and seemed like it hadn’t been cleaned in years. The photos online are incredibly misleading. The resort looks nothing like the pictures—everything is outdated and poorly maintained. The carpets were stained, the curtains were grimy, and I even spotted insects in the room. For the price I paid, I expected at least basic hygiene and decent accommodation. This place failed on every level. I strongly advise others to avoid this resort at all costs. You’ll save yourself the frustration and the need for a deep-cleaning shower when you get home.
