Girls weekend away

Great location and nice comfortable hotel. 2 bedroom room was spacious for friends trip. Only slight downside we’d requested and hotel had confirmed bedding configuration but then wasn’t correct when we checked in. Was quickly rectified with no inconvenience. Lovely little touches like lollies and chocolates in the room. Perfect weekend getaway. Will definitely stay again.

Loved the space- super helpful staff. Small space- especially the bathroom- which is perfect for a night but longer and I’d be in trouble. Room had everything you’d need though.

Very Friendly Staff

Staff were very friendly, helpful and welcoming. Room corridors had a musty/mildew smell. Bed was a double even though we’d booked a queen. Parking lot was a fair walk and the breakfast was in a cafe across the road (using a prepaid voucher system). Food was nice and coffee was very good.
