Lovely receptionist is friendly and welcoming. Room is spacious and though ‘older’ it’s been upgraded, is in excellent repair, and very well kept. Clean, tidy, fresh, cozy with great reverse cycle air conditioning. Curtains lovely & effective in darkening the room. Nicely decorated too. Very good amenities, microwave & bar fridge with freezer. Only a few stairs to access verandah to my room. All round FANTASTIC stay. Thank you

The staff were very nice however the air con was not working properly and barely kept the room at a decent temp. The hair dryer was not working either - the fridge as small as it was made a terrible noise and I had to turn it off to get to sleep. I accept that the price I paid was inexpensive but what is there should be working properly, Otherwise remove it.
