We had our grandson with us and he loved the indoor spa and pool. The restaurant is an easy spot for a pleasant meal. Our executive suite with 2 bedrooms was clean and thoughtfully laid out. The only minor issue we had was the SLOW lift access. All the staff we met were very helpful and friendly. We all enjoyed our stay.

When booking, request not to get room 405. There was an annoying persistent noise in the main bedroom of our 2 bedroom apartment, which never stopped and kept us awake all night. When we raised the issue with staff, they came and checked and agreed it was annoying and then just ignored us and made no attempt to suggest alternative accommodation or compensate us for the inconvenience and frustration. When we checked out they asked us to email management so they are aware of the issue for future guests! Obviously, once they received there payment from us it was no longer their concern.

Nice place to stay for a couple of days while travelling back from Great Ocean Rd. The apartment was clean, had everything required, fridge freezer, washer, micro, cooker and dishwasher. There was a shared dryer, iron and ironing board between 2 apartments. We didnt have a lake view however we didnt mind as we were out mostly.

Hi On checking in we were told we have been up-grated When getting to our room we were looking at a tin roof of the inside pool thinking this is no up grade They dressed it up by telling us that the room had another bedroom with bunks in it We didn’t need that as our booking was make for two In summary we were a little up set but don’t know what our other room may have been
