Nice stay

Nice, clean place. Enjoyed the breakfast.
Robin, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

It was a really good time. There were multiple pools with different depths, plus a poolside bar/restaurant. The beds were comfy but the shower water pressure was occasionally too hot.

Cameron, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Was good overall but the beds were a bit hard which cause back soreness.
George, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Puctures in thus site do not reflect the actual condition of the hotel or rooms. Very tired and need a full make over but was clean and service was good. Its cheaper for a reason and you would need a car as away from main esplanade etc.
Jeremy, 9-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good base for all activities

Stayed here 30 years ago and although looking little tired was still good place to stay. Rooms serviced daily by friendly staff. Was looking forward to poolside swim up bar and shuttle service into CBD but neither are available anymore which was a shame but didn’t spoil our trip. We regularly walked the 4km to the esplanade instead of relying on uber or having to rent a car in between trips planned. Overall an enjoyable stay
Donna, 8-night trip

8/10 Very good

Love the location and the setting is very calming.
Christine, 1-night trip

The staff were all very lovely. I booked a superior room and it was very nice, clean and plenty of linen. The block out curtains made it easy to have a sleep in.

Well priced
Rob, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great place to stay. Clean and tidy if you don’t look too hard. Close to most things. Only thing I would suggest is the menu at the cafe could have a bit more variety and when keeping the bar open at night you serve coffee as well for those that like to have a coffee at night as the coffee is good.over all i would recommend and personally i would stay there again.
Deborah Louise, 6-night trip

8/10 Very good

More than happy

Busy time with school holidays, but a warm friendly family environment. The staff were very friendly and made us feel welcome. Close to town and amenities, the lush garden areas covered the tell tale signs for a lick of paint. The room was basic but very comfortable.
