They have a barbecue area without any water supply, without lighting system. They had a electric light which had no switch and the light was not working. I informed at the reception, but no response. During bookings I have seen there was kitchen, but in reality no kitchen at all.

This property is a Rydges in name only. It is an old converted motel. We stayed in the ‘executive suite’, which was dark, had the decor of a funeral parlour from the 1980s, and had a terrible odour of decades of stale cigarettes. When the room next door used their shower, there was the loudest noise, which, when I phoned reception about it, was informed that it was “the pipes” and the attitude I received was pretty much ‘what do you want me to do about it- just put up with it’. The cost of 3 nights was almost $900, which is completely outrageous for the state of the property/room/amenities/facilities. An overall terrible experience. I would not recommend staying here.
