We loved the convenience of the pool and dining area in the complex and all the shady trees. But the Studio unit we had needs repair - shower base was unstable, shower head was ready to fall off and screen door kept coming off its runners. Aircon didn't have much effect in the heat of the day around 2pm even on lowest setting.

My friend and I stayed 1 night here and we loved it! The garden is beautiful, we loved the hot tub and sauna and the brekky was fun, though the filtered coffee is way too weak. I left my swimwear in the room and the hotel was super efficient at mailing it back to me. Would definitlely stay here again. The staff were all super friendly and seemed happy to work there, which created a welcoming and warm vibe for the guests.

We stayed in a new cabin, which was well stocked and comfortable. The bistro, bar and swimming pool were beautifully set up, and the perfect finish after hot days of exploring. We loved our stay, and would stay again.

Property was not good value for money, we expected more for the cost. Walk to toilet and shower facilities and the staff never told us there was a semi convenient kitchen available. We only found out when about to leave. Best feature of the town was the Golf Club.

Basic , but nice enough. Very overpriced
Beautiful area, but the price is high for what you get ( $230 AUS) for a basic room without a bathroom and without wifi. You are paying for proximity to the park and you are paying a hefty price for that.

It was definitely cheaper than other accommodation but very run down / tired. The shared bathroom was not clean and the shared camp kitchen was very dirty and no doubt never cleaned. I assume management were relying on the guests to keep the area clean which wasn’t going to happen. The room needed better blinds to make the room more private ( if the light was on and the blinds down, guests could still see in.) The room only had one side table and very few power points. When you are paying exorbitant rates just to stay a few nights, I would expect the property to be in better condition. Lastly, the pool was quite dirty so I decided not to take a swim.

Cool green oasis stay
We had a comfortable stay despite only being able to get shared bathroom facilities. The bed in the unit was comfortable, the room clean and aircon nice and cool. The shower block as quite close too and there was a fridge and electric kettle in the room. The pool and bar area was beautiful and we had a lovely meal in the restaurant there.

Location was fine. Cabin with lounge area was very old and small. Bedroom and bathroom small with inadequate storage in each. Ceiling fans and aircon units very noisy, particularly in the bedroom where it was off balance with constant knocking sound. We asked to change to another cabin even to a smaller studio but was told nothing was available. So we did not consider it value for money.
