Great service. Hotel room a bit dated considering the price but nice and big. Struggled to find the car park which meant doing a couple of loops which took a very long time in Friday afternoon traffic.

Unique

Isaac is a unique hotel set next to a Natural waterfall, which you view close up in there gorgeous breakfast room. The room was cold on arrival, but I asked for extra blankets and by the time we got back, the room was really toasty. Staff were friendly, kind, courteous. The breakfast was absolutely delicious. On the downside the lampshades were shabby and the entrance door could do with updating. It’s the first thing you see, so the impression is poor on arrival. That being said I was so beautiful fire and lovely foyer. I would recommend this hotel if you’re looking for something a little different and really good food all around you, The award winning task cocktail bar and restaurant is on site as well as Green’s restaurant for breakfast is served.

Over promises, under delivers

Basic hotel with a king koil bed the only redeeming feature. Presents online as small boutique style but in reality is more travelodge level. Rooms are small, lack amenities and could be cleaner.

Parking instructions, I hope, have improved since our stay. Basically, there’s a road about 5 stores to the right (facing) of the property and that is where you turn to get into the parking lot. GPS will send you to the other side of the church which is incorrect.
