The room was clean but should not be classified as a 2 bedroom. It’s one room with partitions that don’t go to the ceiling that separate the rooms.
Villas overlook main road and noise from traffic could be heard.
The queen bed was like sleeping on a wooden plank. Bathroom had tiles separating, and laminate stuck to the wall with tape.
Outdoor areas look dated back to the 80’s, the whole place needs a lot of maintenance. Not worth the $400 a night, more like $200 at best, if it was in better condition. Very disappointed, I’m being generous with 2 stars.
Dilapidated, filthy, overpriced, safety hazard and should be shut down before someone gets hurt. Wear a HAZMAT suit if you decide to stay in this "bargain accommodation" or drive to another suburb for better options. Unacceptable that this place continues to trade - since I was too busy to check referrals, I regretted every second of my choice to stay here. I apologised to my wife for this mistake - I don't often do that......
Villa 6 was dirty and not well maintained. Basic facilities. Freezer badly needed defrosting. No broom or dustpan and brush to enable us to clean. Kitchen sink plug old and not watertight. No washing up brush or cloth - only a tea towel!!
Would certainly NOT recommend staying in Villa 6
Badly maintained. No tv service (remote batteries corroded), unable to get Wi-Fi even the password would not work. The air cond was noisy and was emitting bad smell of dampness and Mould smell. The ramp is in the process of rotting out. Stain marks of cushions and quilt cover, one cushion looks like a mouse started chewing on it. No one to meet you upon arrival. Bathroom fan and hairdryer have a buildup of crap, not a healthy look. Biggest issue was no tags on any of the appliance to comply with safety. Will not stay there again, no maintenance done on property, a very big shame as it probably once a good place. Watch the hot poles entering the so call resort.
Don’t waste your money here. Walked in, not a soul to be found. Yards and gardens were overgrown and buildings very run down. The room was dirty, unwashed poo stains on bedding and other suspect stains on lounge and pillows. Dirty toilet and kitchen. Got in the phone and told them it’s gross and we wouldn’t be staying. I was told they’d organise a refund. Still waiting a week and a half later ( and yes I made a follow up phone call). Should be shut down.
Would not recommend to others but would go back myself. Like camping. Cost is high for what you get. Kangaroos running around.
Clear glass lets stranger look into the shower and toilet. Needs frosted glass. Highlight windows have no curtains so full light at dawn. TV was not set up properly when we arrived. I had to fiddle with the cables to find the right connections. Worked eventually to our relief.
Great view and location. Unfortunately its not only quite rundown (TV and eifi didnt work) its also barely cleaned at all from previous people. At least there were clean sheets, thats the best i can say. Tolerable only for 2 nights.

Neat and tidy for our overnight stay. Comfortable bed, nice size room. Convent location not far from most places without the high price tag.
The place was actually really nice, but it could definitely do with a good clean before guests arrive. The cups were all stained, the screen door didn’t close or lock fully and there were cobwebs around the windows and at the seating on the veranda. The TV didn’t work and the batteries were all rusted. If the little things were fixed and cleaned, it would have got a 5 star rating.

I did not look at the reviews till we got there
FAULTY TOWERS experience with no one on site
This place needs a massive update to fix all the faulty problems and a good clean in every room
to bring this place up to scratch
There were various bugs/inspects in the beds, benches, drawers. Cups were particularly dirty (didn't look washed at all). The fact some windows wouldn't close completely and didn't have fly-wire screens probably contributed to the bugs.
Arrived late and in dark. Signage to various cottages would have been of great assistance. Older built accommodation but clean tidy comfortable and well appointed.
This place could be amazing. However, a lack of maintenance and upkeep lets it down badly. The property is off the main road and the first sign is hidden behind a shrub. When you arrive, the rooms are hard to find because there are no signs to the different rooms. On arrival, we had to ring the manager (there is no reception on site) to find out which was our allocated room - they were unaware of our booking because they hadnt checked their booking system for half a day. once we found the room, we found that the sliding glass dorr could not be locked - had a bodgy metal plate with a pin lock but it was out of alignment. Paint peeling, dirty cushions on the lounge, a toilet that takes 2 minutes to refill in the middle of the night, noisy air con, grounds generally not mowed - not sure what the collection of junk was in the enclosure below the pool. Alsynite sheeting blowing off one room nearby. So much potential but clearly no interest from the management / owner to develop that potential or to even tidy the rooms up a little. So sad to see such a great place falling apart through a lack of care.

We couldn't get the Tv to work and the property was bit run down but the accommodation while old was clean and tidy and the beds were comfortable so as a place to stay while traveling it was fine
Spiders and cobwebs everywhere. Bath towels ripped with holes. I would recommended not advertising this place through Expedia. Needs a lot of work and maintenance and should be shut down if can’t operate properly
The location of the resort was amazing and the views from the cottage is breathtaking. Also, the close proximity of the city centre and nearby attractions is an added advantage. However, the place itself was slightly worn down. We noticed that it wasnt thoroughly cleaned when we arrived. The sheets had been changed and that was pretty much it. We enjoyed our stay there; however a quick vaccum and mopping before would have been even nicer. Overall, it is budget friendly and in a perfect location.
