Nice quiet room with a view of the inlet with reasonable adequate amenities except face washers. We were notified at check-in not to open windows as midgets could get in, as well as non potable water issue. Wifi never worked. Tea colour water can be off putting but that's what country areas may faced. OK for an overnight stay.

I cannot say enough good things about my experience here. The facility was beautiful with astounding nature, the food was 5 star, the staff were very friendly, and the prices were very reasonable. My initial stay was for 3 days and I ended up staying 9!! One and if not the best holidays of my lifetime. I hope to return even though it is the opposite side of the world from me.

Not as advertised - brown tap water

The room bathroom and kitchenette were not clean. The water in the room was not processed and was brown in colour. This was very off putting and we chose to forego a shower during our stay. The onsite restaurant was overpriced and the food was of average quality. I would encourage other travellers to seek alternative accommodation even if it means having to travel further afield.

Clean bedding the only good thing sadly. Rooms need a good clean and update. Limited menu and poor quality foods. Sorry to say that even if the food was free it wouldn’t help. Hate to complain but something needs doing to change this place. Don’t get me started on the brown water, bleach is a good cleaner

The property outlook is historic style . That’s special. Room decoration is old. Better improve. The biggest problem is the tap water is yellow, I can’t use this to bath, brush my teeth or cleaning face. The laundry becomes useless. Nobody wants to clean their clothes in such yellow water.

Annual pilgrimage

We make an annual trip to fox n hound. The location is great for exploring the area, staff is friendly and rooms are consistently clean. The hotel is dated but we find that’s part of the charm of the trip. Terrific views from sea side rooms.

Good value. Pleasant team

My comments reflect a time only a few weeks after new owners took over. It was a well appointed, spacious apartment. The location is beautiful. The furniture and fittings are a little tired. I would have liked to know about the water issue - we would have brought supply to prevent the need to use so many plastic bottles. The restaurant as comfortable and adequate, pleasant and enthusiastic staff. Limited menu if you have dietary needs.

The water issue wasn’t a problem for us, it’s just tea tree stained dam water. The view was amazing and bed was comfy. Our room could definitely do with a good clean and this hotel has the potential to be 4 stars with some love.
