The room was clean and had everything we needed. Car parking outside the rooms and with the restaurant and bar right next door, was very convenient for dinner. All food was delicious and reasonably priced.

4/10 Fair

The room appeared to have not been cleaned properly. There was no cutlery except for 2 tiny wooden disposable teaspoons. The air conditioner was non functional. The doona did not have a cover but rather a loose flat sheet over it to give the outward appearance on a cover. The mini “fridge” was more like a mini freezer and froze everything that was placed inside. The pool looked to be a mess and wasn’t usable. The staircase leading to the second floor of rooms was unsafe and had several steps that were not secure. The best part of my stay was the bistro dining experience, the staff were outstanding and the food was perfect!

Great location, short drive to city or to get back on freeway. Disappointed the price advertised was not the same I paid at the property, a difference of $20 as we checked in on a public holiday. On arrival no sign on reception to say we had to go to bar to check in. We booked as required wifi for night. Could not connect as said their hotspot had error & to sign in. Went to bar to enquire, no sign in needed should be auto & as no management on site. no one could sort the wifi. Odd for a busy Easter weekend. Bar was busy with people & a ton of pokies for those that like that. Room was good, just pity on service & additional cost, a dollar or 2 you can understand $20 not so much

The rooms were cramped but reasonable quality, but there were old soap bars in the bathroom and hairs on one of the beds. The staff apologised the next day and said we’d get a call but it’s been a week. People were slamming doors outside our room after midnight. On the positive side if you are into gaming and themed venues and partying all night this might be your venue, the bar / games room was right next to the accommodation.

We booked the spa room, which was nice. The room was a bit dated, but clean and comfy. The staff went above and beyond duty though to help you, if needed.
