Room was a bit dated but very clean and spacious. It had everything I needed including a great spa and a very comfortable bed. If I’d stayed more than one night I would have made use of the fridge, microwave and small kitchen. Very convenient location and friendly, easy checkin/checkout experience. Would definitely return.

The property was acceptable. The car parking situation was poor as oversized trees have made parking spaces unusable with raised surfaces of bitumen (30cm) at edge of space rendering it unusable. Other tenants cars are parked in available spots leaving the last with nowhere to park. I arrived back from working at 11pm, too late to advise reception & therefore left without accessible onsite parking.

Our room was basic, but good and clean. Would have been good to have some more milk, coffee and maybe some small breakfast cerals. There were no extra towels in the closet as mentioned in the room booklet. The only major issues were the person that parked so close to my car, i couldnt get into the drivers side and had to climb over the passenger seat, and the other being woken up at 5am by the person next door sitting out the front of the room having a smoke and talking while kids where running around outside. Wasnt the best for my young daughter and i who had a bid days drive ahead of us. Apart from that, it was ok.
