We were visiting from the USA and had rented a car to travel from Sydney and then went to Blue Mountains afterward. The kids thoroughly loved the pool area and could have stayed there all day. We all loved to see a kangaroo on the property in the evening. The room was great and I enjoyed the gym. The breakfast buffet was a little expensive but great quality. I'd highly recommend this to families and others.

I've stayed here a few times and it never disappoints. Swimming in the adults only pool was wonderful. Check-in was courteous as was check-out (some of the other punters were not as kind to the staff as they could have been). Breakfasts were very good. The downstairs bar supplies generous servings of 'snack' food. Very comfortable bed. I'm coming back in a couple of months.

I normally stay away from hotel rooms because of the noise. I am a light sleeper and people coming and going all night makes for a miserable experience. However… I was in the main part of the hotel, and I can honestly say I didn’t hear a single thing until 845 in the morning. I managed to sleep which is the highest recommendation I can give. Fresh rooms, and no weird air freshener smells. Staff were very helpful and let us check in at 2pm so we could make it to our 3pm wedding. I would definitely recommend.
