Overall a nice play to stay. Lacking a couple things like a pool/hot tub/sauna for all the hotel has to offer.. these would be a nice attribute.

Excellent accommodation and very clean One challenge was the lack of catering options due to the holiday period . No food or drinks for 48 hours immediately post New Year. This was reflected across a lot of Victoria so not isolated to hotel. The hotel did email us about this pre arrival however we were committed to payment at that time. Totally understand everyone should have time off to celebrate. More warning with clear options would have been helpful Excellent otherwise . .

The location of the property is convenient and quiet. Originally from Victoria, I know the area well. The staff were friendly.
