We stayed in the 2 bedroom family suite as a family of 5. There was 3 towels, 3 forks, 3 knives and 3 non matching bowls to share. Furniture needs upholstery cleaning. The bathroom sink did not drain very well. But, the sheets were clean and we got fresh towels everyday. We enjoyed watching the bunnies hopping past at night!

The room was disgusting! Welcome to the overwhelming smell of mould. After inspecting the room I discovered the shower leaking into the bedroom and soaking the carpet. Along with the fact the aircon hadn't been clean in a ridiculously long time, if ever, has created the perfect environment for it to fester and create a smell similar to what I imagine uncut c U n t smells of. The fact the receptionist acted like he had something better to do, like I don't know, maybe gluing all the drawers of the hotel rooms dresses shut... HOW IS THIS PLACE GETTING BOOKINGS FOR ANYTHING OTHER THAN A DEMOLITION STUMPS ME. MUMS!

My stay was fine. I picked the room as I needed a table to work on. The room description and pics advised I'd get that. I didnt. The Do Not Disturb sign on the door was ignored to drop off towels. I was trying to take a nap at the time, so having someone knock three times to get my attention was frustrating. Property has good parking and is spread out enough to not hear too much noise from other guests. Reception was always in attendance when I went in, and I was able to add another night's stay easily.
