Unfortunately the weather was not the best when I stayed so that I couldnt enjoy the pool which looked awesome. Staff were friendly. The water pressure in the shower wasn’t the best. The rooms are not soundproof so I could hear the conversation of the people in the room next to mine. Would stay again.

Check in was not a very good experience. I had to wait for awhile before someone came to reception. In limited English I was asked if I’d booked in and asked for my ID. She kept asking if I’d booked and couldn’t match my ID with the booking and gave me a paper with someone else’s name. I told her it was not me and then she gave me the one with the right name and asked if it was me. I do not think she could actually read English, but the experience wasn’t very welcoming. In the room there was the bare minimum of things provided, including one tea towel with stains on it. The couch and chairs were also stained. I sat on a very old chair at the bench and I thought the chair was going to collapse underneath me as it was so wobbly. The shower was terrible with only a trickle of water coming out and suddenly went very cold and then very hot. The only good thing was that the bed was comfortable. If you want a budget motel then I guess you get what you pay for, but at least a clean tea towel and a decent chair would be good.

It was a bit smelly in bathroom as the exhaust fan wasn't attached. It was sort of grungy but it housed 3 adults with relative ease and didn't cost the earth.

The parking situation for Unit 4 and the other two side parks is a joke. That area I got allocated for Unit 4 was disgraceful and if I had a larger car I would have been in trouble. You need to find three new parking spaces and prioritise those who are staying over the guest parking ASAP

Unfortunately on arrival we noticed ants were crawling on the yop of our fridge. Morning 1 of 2 the toilet was blocked. We notified reception staff of the problems. They came to check them out. They advised ants and toilet would be fixed whilst we were out. Staff contacted us later in the day not sure if things were fixed, so they gave us another room to move to. When back to our room , we first noticed our room door had been left open. NOT HAPPY AT ALL., then noticed ants had not been treated as there we still visible and toilet had not been fixed. We made the reception staff aware of the door having been left open, ants and the toilet not being attended to. On a positive , none of our belongings had been taken. We transferred rooms and had no further issues. Another positive was having air-conditioning and a pool and spa to be able to relax in.

The pool and spa are good. In the family room curtain was torn. The screen door was broken. The room smelt. The keetle was diry boiled water tasted yuk. The biscuits were off. The tea bags were yuk. Towels provided were worn out almost ready to have a rip, very thin and not fluffy. For $300 a night for a family these things can be improved.
