10/10 Exceptional

Stayed earlier in the year, room, bed and bathroom all great as before. Some noise at night from trucks at rail works nearby, but didn’t interrupt to much. Bistro service great again but the food wasn’t as good as the last visit. Great service from all the staff.

chen, 7-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

An amazing great-value find. Nervous about shared amenities? Don’t be, the bathrooms are spacious, private and spotless, always. The bedroom was on the Small side but one of the most comfortable beds I’ve slept in. We-appointed with desk & TV, it was quiet and peaceful. The kitchen/lounge was well stocked with tea, coffee etc and comfortable to lounge in. Having the bistro and bar downstairs was great, and the Rump steak perfectly cooked. Huge thanks to Marty, Arjun and Julie who were a great laugh and really helpful. Will be back.
