Definitely a good location and handy for people travelling with pets. However it’s an old hotel in dire need of maintenance and updating, not a place you’d stay for longer than two nights. We did enjoy the pool on a hot weekend!

The property is looking very tired and dated and needs renovating. However, our stay there was pleasant. The room was large,clean and very comfortable and the staff are good.The grounds around the motel buildings are very nice and spacious and include large grassed areas and a tennis court.

overall the place is lovely - very light and airy and clean. the one thing that let us down was the scum around the taps in bathroom sink and the scum around the sink - the rest was clean however didn't finish the job. As a result I ended up cleaning it myself with tissue and a spoon the clean the edges. Was so simple to clean and if I had cleaning fluid would have taken seconds - lazy cleaning. Didn't end up staying the night and left early

I loved having a yard for my dog, very convenient and the reason I chose this property. The pool was well maintained and I enjoyed having it. Unfortunately the property has been allowed to slowly fall into disrepair. It would have been awesome in its heyday, there were now overgrown veggie gardens, coy pond still has fish but was lacking water and needed a good clean. The aircon in my room dripped water inside directly above one of the few power points. No coffee machine or available breakfast that was advertised and very minimal teabags etc. I assume the dog friendly rooms are probably the least maintained as the place was quite full. I did enjoy my stay despite this.

It was ok.
Hotel a little tired, moldy curtain in the room, no fly screen on the sliding door to the balcony. Old musty smell in the room. However, the stay was pleasant enough the spa bath was ok, worked and was clean.

This was the most disgusting place on earth. Do NOT stay here. My bed was held together by a protruding screwdriver. NO SMOKE ALARM. DRUG pipes in a cupboard - one smashed to pieces, Bathroom fan was falling from ceiling, one lock on the filthy door. Filth on the floors and counter/table tops, opened sachets of coffee provided with newer ones, the gardens unkempt even a rusty chair in with the fish pond, VERY noisy, no customer service, Dirty bbq provided but nothing to cook with and no plates/cutlery so no point cooking - seriously a disgrace and I'll be reporting higher when I get home. It should not be allowed to be open. A bus load of kids and noisy women arrived and it took forever for them to be roomed - they hung around outside my room and I couldn't hear myself think. Not organised, no welcome. FERAL.
