Great place
Great facilities, got a bit warm though. The pools were spa temp, too hot to swim in, and there was no aircon. The ceiling fan was adequate once I found the switch to make it blow down not upwards, ie it was still in winter mode.

Our stay was ok , we thought the bar and restaurant were a bit pricey , Accommodation was fairly average compared to other places we stayed in recently, Think I’d look elsewhere

Not to a resort quality
Late arrival as just stopping the night! Stayed a week before and this time a different room. It smelled very bad, spray didn’t even work on the smell at all. No amenities in the room for having something lite to eat on as restaurant closes early even for a Saturday night. No service or any way to call reception, which as resulted in a very long painful walk to reception. In general very run down, but staff are helpful and friendly.
Susan, 1-night trip

Enjoyed the hot mineral pools. The veranda outside our room allowed us to have a nice morning coffee, even while it was raining.

What a lovely serene place to stay! The staff were amazing, friendly and helpful. Highlight would be the service and food at the Geyser Bar - Food was top notch and the staff were wonderful. Highly recommend. Facilities were great as well with the heated pool being a definite bonus.

4/10 Fair

Old, hot, noisy and tasteless
The resort is old and tired, no upgrades have been done. No air conditioning, so the rooms are extremely hot. The ceiling fan was noisy, so we couldn't even use that. The food in the restaurant is average and over priced.
