It was very unpleasant stay. I got woken up with water dripping from the AC unit onto my head. The kitchen was flooded with water dripping from rusted end of fridge. The spa bath (that makes the room more expensive) wasn’t working either.

We are a family of 5, so the bed set up was perfect, kids thought it was quite a novelty having all the beds in one room. Staff were nice. It could have done with a simple wire clothes hanger to hang out bathers/ towels. Bathroom floor could have done with a slightly better clean as hairs were present. Lovely location, about 25mins from Merewether beach and Newcastle 5mins more. We enjoyed dinner at the local RSL. For the one night it ticked most boxes for us
