    Had a great stay here with my young son for a sporting competition and everything was great, the wifi was appreciated 🙂 We left an item behind and the manager was really helpful on getting it back to us, which was great ! Will stay again for next years competition!

    While a neat and tidy property, walls are very thin and the incessant need to take make credit card derails for a fully paid room is off putting

    It was hard to find and get into from the main highway. More visible signage would have been helpful. But it was beautifully renovated and clean.

    Pillows need replacing. Maybe with a couple more choices of firm to soft. Nothing else wrong with it.

    Very quiet location, easy to find. Bathroom clean and fresh, but just a little small. Beds extremely comfortable. Parking right at the door. Would definitely stay here again.

    Checking in to be questioned on the bed configuration I had knowingly booked we got the impression this isn't exactly all that friendly towards the gay community it made it a rather uncomfortable experience for that we will avoid in the future. The carpet had bits and pieces from the last guest needed another clean.

    Room was excellent and mostly clean apart from the floor needing more attention to being vacuumed.

    There are no safety rails in the bathroom. Bathroom is a good size but hub to get in and out of shower only curtain and no support. Spending years in OHS environment I have found many hotels lack this vital safety feature. Not everyone needs a room with aids but a safety rail in bathrooms I believe is essential.

    It was clean and close to where we needed to be.

    Egress back onto main road could be made clearer. It's a bit of a maze until you work it out.

    Easy access from main road.

    Bottom of shower curtain discoloured and should be changed. Some a*hole parked his SUV and boat across several car parks - though the caretaker did apologize when I checked out. Fine print on ''Booking.com" says ''Please note that the swimming pool is closed on Sundays after 13:00." However pool is not available at all due to being leased to a business. Please check and correct details. TV only picks about 5 channels even after autotuning.

    Stayed in February 2025. Good express check in machine. I stayed in room 41 which had one double and one single bed. The room was well set-up including iron and ironing board, plates and cutlery, microwave, dishwashing liquid. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable - may have been recently renovated? There was milk in the fridge. Though air conditioner was in a corner above the kitchen sink, still cooled the room adequately. Shower was good. Stayed on a Friday night but it was nice and quiet.
