Great location and dining experience was really good and playground was amazing for our 4 year old. Down falls is the pool was super dirty and didn’t want our son going in there and I think it’s alittle over priced for what it is just a real basic room and bathroom was falling apart but it did the job.

The room was clean and had everything we needed. Car parking outside the rooms and with the restaurant and bar right next door, was very convenient for dinner. All food was delicious and reasonably priced.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
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
