Very dirty dingy. approx 20years too late for this property. itis evident it was once a happening place but now looks to have been left for dead by owners. No bar open at 5pm on a friday as a breastfeeding mum I want food as well which turned into an absolute mission!! the cleanliness of the room was disgusting. toilet basically uncleaned, the rooms smelt musty as heck and mould evident in places. We will not be returning here again.

Needs a really good upgrade apart from that it was nice and quiet the were lovely.
This is one of our most favourite places to get away for a few nights and play on an awesome golf course.
Staff are lovely and very accommodating both at the resort and the local pub which is only a 5-minute walk from the resort. Plenty of choices with the buffet breakfast.
A place that is close to home, but you really feel as though you are on holiday when staying here.

Location was really nice and beds were very comfortable and well cleaned. The shower curtains however had a little dirt on them and the shower water was irritable on the eyes after some time. The balcony table wasn’t properly cleaned, but staff were really nice and check in and check out was quick and smooth. Overall good place to stay if you are looking for a weekend getaway to play golf or visit the countryside.
This is definitely not a 4 stars hotel. The building looks very damaged, the room was dirty.
Don't waste your money on the buffet either, the food is not good, too expensive, and menu was labelled wrong (fried rice had the V for vegetarian, though it had bacon)
Staff was nice, but i wouldn't waste my money if i were you
Disappointed with the standard of the whole property and offerings. The website is extremely misleading compared to what you are actually offered.
There is nothing stated online about needing to pre-book the day spa or horseriding. There is nothing to say the petting farm won't be on.
The things that we were told were available weren't as described or necessarily available either - there were no tennis racquets to use the tennis courts, there was no netball court, and the games room was not free, most of the games are coin operated. The pond to kayak in was dirty, stagnant water, not something you would want to fall into.
The putt putt and other offerings at the pavilion are so run down. The pavilion itself is so run down.
The room was run down and falling apart - taps coming off the wall, broken toilet seat, and just dirty. The water pressure was great for boiling hot water, but not to be able to have a nice shower.
Very disappointing stay that's for sure.
Sorry, would like to promote but just can’t. Not cheap (we had sub-penthouse and normal rooms) and very run down. Tapware broken, toilet seat broken and door did not shut, many lights not working and holes in passageway ceiling to name but a few. Facilities (games room, tennis courts, netball, putt-putt etc.) all very dilapidated. Cleaners didn’t make 2nd bed in room, didn’t rinse out coffee cups. Very dark grounds and main restaurant not open, only food available at local tavern.
I had an issue with our booking not being as per request. 3 guys booked and paid for with a 2 queen bed room to be supplied. I have been trying to talk to the Manager now for 5 days and the arrogant piece of work will not take my call or respond to the emails sent to him form the poor reception staff. Good luck if you stay here hope it work out as you will not get any support from the Kooralbyn Resort if you have an issue.
The Property is looking very tired run down.
Whilst it is aging, it could still be kept clean and tidy.
Windows dirty, balcony filthy.
There appears to be no maintenance being done on the property
