Easy check in with the staff, friendly and willing to cater to your needs. Place was clean and tidy and spacious. This was our second time staying here as we like the convenience of the coffee club underneath and the grocery Coles centre only a block away. The view of the river is also breathtaking.

Property itself was excellent very clean and well furnished however bed was maybe a bit soft for my liking which gave me a sore back in the morning but just personal preference. We stayed a Friday night and the area around was very noisy, lots of honing and shouting possibly just due to being a Friday night. Would certainly stay again though. Best address in Rocky for sure
