We’ve stayed here before but this time we were in the villas not the main hotel. The rooms were ordinary but fine for two nights. Hard to justify the price tag though. Buffet breakfast was fantastic and the staff were friendly. The in-room dining was the WORST I have ever experienced. Not only was the food served in paper bags in takeaway containers with no cutlery, serviettes or salt and pepper but it was absolutely horrible.

We had a wonderful 3 night stay at Rydges as we were going to a wedding on the Saturday afternoon The room was clean and a good size. We were greeted by friendly staff on arrival and nothing was too much trouble on request. The breakfast buffet was delicious with more than enough to choose from. I particularly liked how organised they were with tea and coffee orders. We had a fabulous waitress called Corinne who was there for the 3 mornings and her friendliness and bubbly personality made the mornings brighter. She gave us advice on wineries to visit etc and was just a pleasure to meet. The downstairs bar and bistro was wonderful and adjoined the large pool area. There was plenty of food choices on offer for adults and kids and a comfortable but casual dining experience. We couldn’t fault the service there as well. The grounds were really big and fabulous for golfers etc. There was nothing we didn’t enjoy and wouldn’t hesitate to return in the future. Many thanks, Debra and Rob Sykes

We enjoyed our stay at Rydges, however our checkin was very slow. There were two people working with customers ( who took forever to get their room). We were next in line. A third person was working behind a desk. I thought they could have helped in checkin.

Overpriced, outdated hotel
Old, outdated hotel. Family friendly but at capacity there was too many people. No seats left at swimming when we went at 3pm. Long wait to get into the breakfast buffet if you go after 8.30am. Also fire evacuation and no reimbursement on our drinks and food that we had just ordered, and then kids couldn’t go to bed until after 10pm. Management could’ve done a better job with communicating to everyone when to come back. We went elsewhere in the resort as we got tired waiting outside the hotel for over 1 hour and they sent staff to say an announcement would be made over the PA system in the whole resort. However no announcement in the resort outside of the main hall area, and we only found out we could go back to our room after calling the reception multiple times ourselves.
