Could not fault the staff, they are friendly and welcoming. Great off street parking and close to food outlets, and supermarkets. Rooms and facilities are a little tired.

The pool was lovely, very basic accommodation and rooms need cosmetic update, stained carpet and very budget kitchen utilities. Ants all around in the kitchen at night. The bed was comfortable and the private outdoor area was nice.

The room was big and spacious and enough space for a family of five. Kitchen was stocked with utensils, pots and pans for simple cooking during our stay there.
It was summer and the weather was hot. The air con didn't reach the top level so it was very hot even during the night. Would be nice if a fan could be provided. There was some stains on the beddings so cleaning can be improved but otherwise our family had a great stay.

It had a lot of space which made it easy for a wheelchair to get around. The walk in shower was awesome. The water drained away and didnt go everywhere when you had a shower. Also the bed wasnt too high so it made it easy for someone in a wheelchair to get on the bed. Definitely recommend.

Okay, good sized unit but worn out
A good sized unit for a large group, but is getting worn. Needs refurbishing. Still tidy and relatively clean but elements of worn carpet, lifting bathroom fixtures. Certainty not a 4 star quality

The location is ideal, great. The pool was dirty, our mini fridge was leaking water. The stepping out of spa bath was dangerous, too steep and slippery.

Wet black dust on the ranch sliders, Bathroom needed some love, tacks in the carpet hidden by a mat over it, internet to slow, the heat pump remote would work properly, skirting boards needed dusting. The bed was comfy and the linen was nice. Would not stay here again.
