Expected more amenities, no vending machines, couldn’t get anything to eat or drink after the main desk was closed which was pretty disappointing, service was great when available, rooms were clean and comfortable. But room in the main building had no mini fridge or microwave to heat up food that we were lucky able to get at the ski hill , would book again but but definitely come more prepared knowing what I know now . Over all experience was ok but really did have higher expectations

Very quiet. Reasonably priced stay at a very safe clean location. A car is required and proximity is good to Sydney area facilities. Fully met our needs with off peak season options. VV good.

very Nice Place to stay

Our suite was extremely comfortable and well equipped except for the TV. They do not provide too many channels to watch or offer the ability to use your own Netflix. The walls are paper thin. We could hear the people across the hall from us as if they were in the hall right outside our door. The Reception area leaves a lot to be desired. Just a emply room when you walk in the front door with some stuff being stored in the corners. You check in thru the Pro shop. Very low class for a place that seems to be trying to promote 5* resort.
