I cannot say enough good things about my experience here. The facility was beautiful with astounding nature, the food was 5 star, the staff were very friendly, and the prices were very reasonable. My initial stay was for 3 days and I ended up staying 9!! One and if not the best holidays of my lifetime. I hope to return even though it is the opposite side of the world from me.

The water issue wasn’t a problem for us, it’s just tea tree stained dam water. The view was amazing and bed was comfy. Our room could definitely do with a good clean and this hotel has the potential to be 4 stars with some love.

Nice quiet room with a view of the inlet with reasonable adequate amenities except face washers. We were notified at check-in not to open windows as midgets could get in, as well as non potable water issue. Wifi never worked. Tea colour water can be off putting but that's what country areas may faced. OK for an overnight stay.
