Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The room had not been cleaned completely; the previous sheets and towels on the floor and dishes in the sink.
I chose this venue based on pay on check in. As we were checking in late, payment was demanded over the phone.
Left over food found under one of the beds and unable to use the electric blankets due to unsafe frayed plugs.
Nice view over Mount Gambier! Great BBQ. No dislikes...

Clean room spacious and all facilities Heat wave one day and loved the excellent cooler. Parking looked a bit tight but as you could park anywhere made it easier.

Bathroom was excellent - recently renovated. However ...
Air con split system not working.
Parking bays small and not clearly identified.
Rundown clothesline with no pegs
Reception met with friendliness. The room was not where reception indicated. All surrounding people were smokers and the entrance to my room required me to walk through smokers and butts. My outside table was dirty with ash. People sat outside room smoking and it entered my room

Firstly as you pull up to the Office a child runs to your door & demands why are you here? The office has a very unpleasant smell. Staff are polite but not really welcoming. The room is average, the floor squeaks no matter where you walk on it. The bathroom looks like it was recently renovated but there is no handle on the inside of the shower door so can not close door without a lot of difficulty. The room door sticks so it’s a battle to get in or out of the room. Parking is terrible.
