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.

I was a bit iffy when i first pulled up but it was such a good set up, room was great with a spa bath and dinner from the bistro (although no room service, you could take away from the bistro to your room) was absolutely delicious. The staff were all helpful and friendly and the night was peaceful and quiet and bed was comfy.

Check bedding
There were blood stains on the mattress protector. The kettle was so stained on the inside it made you feel sick. I complained and they gave me a full refund and changed the cover and the kettle. Management were very apologetic and very helpful. The bathroom was very tiny and gaps in the window frames for bugs and air to come thru. The actual dining area and food was beautiful .
