Very dirty dingy. approx 20years too late for this property. itis evident it was once a happening place but now looks to have been left for dead by owners. No bar open at 5pm on a friday as a breastfeeding mum I want food as well which turned into an absolute mission!! the cleanliness of the room was disgusting. toilet basically uncleaned, the rooms smelt musty as heck and mould evident in places. We will not be returning here again.

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.

Mixed reviews

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 The resort looks nothing like the pictures—everything is outdated and poorly maintained.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.

The property of older style and needed renovation but was clean and tidy ..the problemwas that there was no hot water so I could not have a shower and the spar bath under the shower was to deep to get to the shower would be ok if I was tall..But No Hot Water Is Not Good Enough for the price I paid..

Our Most Favourite Place

This is one of our most favourite places to get away for a few nights and play on an awesome golf course. Staff are lovely and very accommodating both at the resort and the local pub which is only a 5-minute walk from the resort. Plenty of choices with the buffet breakfast. A place that is close to home, but you really feel as though you are on holiday when staying here.

Location was really nice and beds were very comfortable and well cleaned. The shower curtains however had a little dirt on them and the shower water was irritable on the eyes after some time. The balcony table wasn’t properly cleaned, but staff were really nice and check in and check out was quick and smooth. Overall good place to stay if you are looking for a weekend getaway to play golf or visit the countryside.

This is definitely not a 4 stars hotel. The building looks very damaged, the room was dirty. Don't waste your money on the buffet either, the food is not good, too expensive, and menu was labelled wrong (fried rice had the V for vegetarian, though it had bacon) Staff was nice, but i wouldn't waste my money if i were you
