Due to the very wet weather it was impossible to get an appreciation of the gardens etc. The room was clean but the overall view of the accommodation was that it was very tired and needed an upgrade. For the price it was a good stay. The Lantern Restaurant however was superb. The service, food and general appearance was excellent.

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.

Ok for a quick stay

Perfect location for beach “staycation” adventures only 4 minutes away. We stayed one night, I can’t imagine you’d want to stay longer if you wanted more comfort. Definitely an old place with extremely flat pillows & we had a kettle base but no kettle. For a quick stay though, the aircon was cold, the shower was hot with great water pressure. Room clean but dated. Didn’t try the pool because we stayed all day at the beach and ate out hence only looking for a bed over night.

It was nice, sheets were clean, however the fridge was noisy, the rooms need some maintenance, and the toilet didn’t flush.

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.

The stafg was friendly and property is clean and rooms are spacious and comfy. The only little feedback be to have a light over swimming pool for someone who wants a swim between 8pm amd 10pm. Not a hugre issue.

It was great to be able to have my pets with me. It is not good that the so-called fenced area was not pet-proof, with large gaps under fences, and hedges instead of fencing, allowing everything to escape. Attention to properly closed in pet court-yards would hugely improve the Resort. Also, some food/drink vending machines?

6/10 Good

The main areas of the property were clean and tidy. The rooms were a bit dated and showing their age. Bathroom was decent but a bit tired. The place was quiet and bed was comfortable enough but pillows may as well have been a rolled up t-shirt. There were no extra pillows or blankets in the room and no one on reception when we got in to get some more. Not a bad place for a night if you just want somewhere to sleep but maybe byo pillow.

4/10 Fair

Despite an obvious effort to re-tile or at least grout the bathroom, the craftsmanship was extremely poor. The shower screen needs replacing along with the tap and shower head where water came out in odd directions. The curtains were threadbare and had rips in them. However the kids enjoyed the pool table and table tennis in the games room.

8/10 Very good

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.

Just basic... I won't go there again

Just basic... I know it was cheap, but extremely basic. All very old and out dated. Bad beds and pillows, no kitchenette only a toaster and kettle on one "cupboard", a fridge over there. No lounge and a tiny table. Old bathroom with a shower curtain that was not closing due to a screw in the track. No flyscreens in the window & only letting flys in, so we just kept the aircon on most of the time (a shame as I love the coastal air and it wasn not too hot) The room was huge and totally waste of space Other guests were loud till 10pm and no one fro the hotel told them to quite down

Good - room size, some 30 sqm, two double beds (although we ordered one queen, but it looks like all room have at least two beds. Rooms overlooking park area, nice, green and quiet. And the rates are cheap comparing to other properties available it the area (it's about 5-10 min drive to Terrigal, 15 min drive to The Entrance). Separate table and two chairs inside and another set at the balcony. Enough power points around the room (it's often a problem in hotels). Bad - this property probably fits definition of "run-down". Everything is old, no fly screen, fridge produced more water than cool, shower door replaced with a curtain, bath in poor state (although clean). No batteries were supplied with A/C remote.
