One night stay, our room was comfortable, roomy, good bed and linen, how ever the cleaning staff need to be more particular looking at exhaust fan in bathroom, under vanity and around windows, also bathroom floor grout needs a steam clean . Often cleaners are pushed for time and thats where good management plays it part, l can recommend this accommodation for a comfortable night.

Reception area nice with water feature. Room is large. Bathroom is opposite foyer entrance and through a door opposite side to bathroom is a large bedroom with tv and beds. Bedroom was very cold even with reverse cycle aircon. You could not change the temperature locked on a set setting. Bathroom old and cold. Spa not working. Walked passed another room and a rubbish bin had rubbish overflowing and all over the ground. Close to club and Sovereign Hill. Expensive for what it was.
