Clean, tidy & welcoming room. Surroundings were pleasant & pool area well maintained. Receptionist was very helpful & left a list of near by restaurants in the room for me. I had to go to my car to get change of clothes for the next days travel but could not open door with key. All staff had gone home it was after hours. Had to knock on neighbours door for help. He very kindly got it open for me but it took a while he said the locks were tricky.

The only issue I had was the A/C filters desperately needed cleaning as within 10mins of having them on I felt like I had hay fever which I don’t get. Apart from that the place was very clean and very friendly staff.

Hot water takes forever to come through, which means a lot of water is wasted. Rather noisy - we were in the front unit. Suited us for a night but tired decor. Brick walls inside could do with a lick of white paint and what a difference it would make. Great shower but no fan in bathroom.

The room was lovely and clean my only issue is the long small window up above the kitchen sink has no blind or covering so the light shine in from outside then the sun shines in early in the morning and the next appartments split system fan was very noisy during the night

Good for a stop over. Bathroom is a bit odd - the only sink is the kitchen/bathroom sink. Shower/toilet door is a semi frostered glass so no true privacy but this is no issues if away with family though. Decent sized rooms

Internet was lousy. Couldn't watch free to air, pic coming and going. Tried to watch a movie, took longer because it had to reload a number of times. Didn't like the self closing toilet lid as it didn't fit the toilet properly and it would start coming down as you were trying to sit. Mattress was comfortable.

Property was a convenient stop for us. Arrived before reception closed but had to locate the receptionist - not difficult as she was on the property, but made us nervous! She was absolutely lovely. Gave us a terrific dinner suggestion (Grand Hotel Terminus) and suggested a visit to Raymond Island to see the Koala colony
