    Very minor issue only - the shower head needs to be replaced as it leaks & keeps dropping down.

    The location was ideal, close to all attractions & shops. Very quiet at night. Good value.

    One side of our double bed electric blanket didn't work.

    Comfortable bedding. Spacious room. Electric blankets provided. Easy to check in. Convenient location close to Echo Point and several bushwalking trails. Short drive in to town if needed.

    It would be helpful to have a couple of plates, some cutlery and a scourer. The owners make it clear that cooking is not allowed (which is fine) but a microwave is provided for heating take away food so some cleaning implements would have been useful.

    This was a very straightforward booking with timely messages (email and text) from the owners in advance explaining the check-in procedure. My request by phone for a slightly later check-out on the final day was accepted. Overall a hassle-free experience and good value for money.

    The room was spacious & perfect for what we needed for 5 days. It was an old building but provided well ,It had a compact small area we could prep a few meals & good value for price paid. It was in a perfect location to catch regular buses into town & scenic world & good to be able to stroll down to Echo Point. Joseph the manager gave valuable information prior to arriving , extra provisions provided by hotel & places to see, Thankyou.

    Everything you need for a short stay - room was clean and the bed comfortable. No on-site staff was more than compensated for by good communication. Plenty of parking.

    Very pleasant stay, and an excellent base from which to explore the Blue Mountains.

    A power point close to the bed would have been nice, as we had to leave the mobiles charging overnight on the other side of the room. The bathroom fittings, while fully adequate and functional, are somewhat dated. The sound-proofing could also have been better, as we could hear people chatting in the car-park late into the night and were disturbed by an early-morning departure next door.

    Location close to Echo Point is excellent for the Three Sisters and the walking trails, a bit less so for the town centre, shops, etc. The "contactless check-in" worked fine. The room itself was clean, roomy and comfortable, well equipped with a kettle, microwave, iron and hair dryer. The air-conditioner was effective (though we didn't use it much in the mild weather). The bed was large and comfortable, extra pillows were available in the cupboard. Very good wi-fi in the room. Would definitely stay again.

    A few plates and cutlery would have been nice addition to the kitchen facilities.

    Great location, the Three Sisters are a short walk away. Beds were super comfy, the electrical blankets were a bless and the spa was amazing and relaxing at the end of the day.

    Was concerned about walking into an unlocked room, particularly when arriving a little later in the evening. Appreciate the contactless check in, just wish it was not at the expense of security.

    Room was exactly as described.
