Totally underwhelming! Nowhere near being 4star facility as described - dirty shower screens, mould around outside of shower, aged and yellowing fittings, very old shaver/hair dryer outlet, old benches in kitchen, thin carpet on floors. Sadly I could not recommend to anyone.

A beautiful setting like being in an oasis. We found the bed was just too soft but overall, a really well kept property and amenities. The restaurant menu and service also well presented. Would come again...South West Rocks is a hidden gem.
