Little gem
Rooms have been upgraded with new bathrooms and furnishings making them feel modern and fresh. When visiting family we stay in the balcony rooms which have a nice view of the lake. Quiet location yet walking distance to shops and restaurants. Staff have always been friendly and helpful

Booked and paid for the family suite, but only provided with a quad room. Staff not at all interested in remedying the situation (2 night stay). Despite the inconvenience, we also paid more for the family suite. Agreed to pay at property, but full amount withdrawn prior to arrival. Shower leaks into main room. After hours check in process was easy. Wotif have been helpful.

Lovely stay but check out wasn’t the most pleasant due to us getting a knock before 10am to say we needed to check out and when checking out there was no “thanks for staying” or “hope you had a nice stay” she just took the key

Relatively quiet location with a view of the bay. Nice ocean breezes. Easy to drive up to and park. I enjoyed all the amenities in the room such as a toaster, microwave, fridge and coffee maker. However, the carpet was not very clean and one of the pillow cases and duvet had stains on them. There was also not enough hanging hooks in the bathroom. The bathroom would also benefit from a little more counter space. The restaraunt next door was a little noisy at night.
