The hotel rooms were aged and need a new lift. The toilet would’ve flush properly and there was rust around the shower. Things in the room broke easily by simply touching them.

Great place for family, front desk staff so lovely
Had the best mini getaway with the family! Close proximity to all the main attractions in Hunter, was worried room would be cold during winter but air con worked a treat to keep us nice and cosy. Buffet was kids highlight - a lot of variety and good quality. Next time will definitely take advantage of the kids club activities (we already had itinerary mapped out and booked before we got here). Front desk reception staff were friendly and super helpful - will definitely stay again.

Very disappointed to discover what we thought was a hotel room in the main complex was a villa about 400m away. Not pleasant in cold and rain to come for meals and drinks. Walls very thin too - you could hear the conversation of our neighbours (and all their cluttering around plus a noisy child)
