Good location. Lots of loose retaining wall blocks from crumbling garden beds on ground. Air con very noisy, couldn’t be left on while sleeping. One pillowcase and bathroom mat weren’t clean. Every time the room next to us opened and closed their door it slammed so hard our walls shook. This happened a lot.

While I enjoyed the booking in process, I had a fall in the bathroom as the floor was left wet, I did report it to Reception. Thoroughly enjoyed the pool. The receptionist was lovely.

The room was very comfy and spacious. The outside could have used a good cleaning and the pool area had no chairs, lounges, or umbrellas. The rooms were much better than anticipated looking at the exterior.

Best thing about the place is it was very clean, TV was an old Samsung plasma with no streaming, no fan in the bathroom made it very steamy. Won’t stay here again.

This place is lovely. Clean, well maintained rooms, loads of parking, really nice pool and fabulous staff. We did cop a bit of noise from the pub/hotel next door at night, but that happens when your room is right on the fence line of the hotel car park. It's all good though. A terrific place to stay for the weekend.
