Fabulous stay would highly recommend ….accommodation was superb and could not be faulted. Loved the big bed too
A last minute decision to book a room meant the unstaffed reception desk was not expecting us, but a phone-call, 'How to ...' SMSd reply & very helpful laundry worker meant we still had a very comfortable stay. Trouble with the TV was also promptly resolved, in person.
Easy to find, room was quite small and lacked the basics, no reception area, picked up key in an envelope. No bench top and no plates to use to make toast. The small window by the door let a lot of light in, so the room wasn’t as dark as it should have been. Shower pressure was good.
Bathroom heating was nice after getting out of the shower. Check in was easy and well explained in email.
Would have been nice to have outdoor lights as quite dark when came back from an evening outing and left at 06:00 am next day
Would have been nice to have someone to ask or have breakfast times posted
Clean, quiet, convenient location for touring GOR. Nothing fancy. Easy self check in and out. Only provided 1 hand towel and 1 wash cloth. Would be nice to have 2 of each. Seems to be a thing in Australia.

Missing attention to detail. No dinner plates, 1 knife, 2 forks. There’s a microwave but nothing to cook anything on.

It was strange not seeing anybody for check-in and check-out!
We love staying at this property, and have many times unfortunately this time are room was very underwhelming, it needed maintenance. Love everything else about the property
