Had a kitchenette cabin, was nearly put off booking by needing to bring bedding, however once we arrived the pools were amazing which outweighed all else. Also paid extra for our family to use the private pool, such a great space. Will be back with golf clubs and walking shoes for the waterfall track is open. Loved it all, but will be upgrading to a motel unit in the hope the double bed is better as we had some serious roll together 😆

girls weekend away

reception lady was so unpleasant didn’t smile no warm welcome so slow at checking us in reasonably rude explaining our shortened spa time due to being late of our own accord but could have been more friendly just because. Ignored us when we spoke asking questions staring at the computer instead…. hadn’t answered oh when we were calling to advise our lateness. a just responded NO abruptly to request for late check out on mother’s day …. very unpleasant i’d not return because of her service but found the place nice an would want to bring kids back just not to be checked in by her

Was much nicer than we were expecting . The unit had been renovated ( only the shower to go) . Great new deck with table and chairs , to relax on with a quite drink . Beds were great . Hot spa pools were brilliant for relaxing at the end of the day . Nothing not to like . Will definitely stay again ( have already booked :) )
