What guests think

Reviews of Glen Villa Resort highlight a very convenient, walkable location and friendly staff, with basic cabins that suit short stays, but dated fittings, patchy Wi-Fi, and variable cleanliness and maintenance shaping overall expectations and value.

Facilities are simple: a small pool, barbecue areas and parking, though umbrellas, BBQ gas and after hours pool access have let some down, and the communal kitchen requires bringing your own utensils. Check-in is generally smooth, but limited after-8pm staffing and confusing advance instructions were noted. Beds vary from comfortable to very firm or sagging, and some cabins have noisy heaters, limited TV speakers, or lack expected items like hairdryers or in-room bathrooms. Expect a no-frills park cabin stay.

Overall good value for money, location is great, stayed in a spa cabin, unfortunately some of the jets in the spa didn’t work, the red towels just left us covered in red fluff so we had to shower again and use our beach towels…

Great place near to my greyhound bus stop. Cute little hut. I loved my hut. Friendly staff. Clean and tidy place. If staying in accommodation where you need to use the communal kitchen, remember to bring plates, cutlery etc as none provided. It's not like a hostel communal kitchen. Or book units with kitchenette. Wifi is pretty bad no matter how many routers they say they have. Works fine between 4am and 7am then nothing. Works ok outside your hut but just by the main gate. Just have your own data.

Nice holiday park but for the price the property needs some work. Basic things like flywire screens for the cabins, & umbrellas for the pool area for sun protection really short be included for basic traveller comfort & safely.

Experience is as expected for a cabin in a caravan park. Pros are that there is pretty good wifi throughout the property including in the cabins and at the pool. Cabin was clean, had bath towels and basic cooking utensils. Checkin was easy and there was plenty of parking space out the front of the cabin. Also, it’s a very short walk to shops and restaurants . Cons are that on New Year’s Day the pool closed early at 4pm because the staff went home and it couldn’t be left unattended. That was a real bummer. Also, the photo of the beach with the description “view from property” is completely inaccurate - the park is about 15 mins walk from beach (view from property is of a main road).

Property was outdated, old small bathroom with an air conditioner in it and you required to leave the bathroom door open to use. Very limited kitchen supplies making it difficult to prepare any meals. The floors were very dirty, l wouldn’t advise walking around without shoes. The bathroom wall had what appeared like fecies on the wall in one section. The very old shower with a small bath at the bottom was incredibly slippery and was without a slip mat. My elderly mother fell hurting herself. This property was very overpriced with very little value for money and dangerous for elderly people with little to no room around the bed to get to kitchen/bathroom facilities

A convenient place to stay for one night. The bed was comfortable and clean as were the kitchen utensils. The bathroom floor (not shower recess) was very poor - stained and very dirty looking. The bathroom door was missing a handle and the pack of the door was very dirty. The toilet roll holder was not intact and could not be used correctly.

The Air Conditioning Unit wasn’t working. Although on the surface it was cleaned, there was mildew on the window sills and a deep clean of drapes, window sills, walls and shower curtain is due. If your expectation is more of a campground than a hotel, then it might meet your expectation. The location is great and staff were very friendly.

Room was sub standard and felt very grubby. Had to wash all dishes, pans and cutlery before using as it did not appear clean. Curtains were stained, not properly hung and did not close properly. Very old, tired and not pleasant. Real shame because convenient location for bus terminal, pleasant setting and good outdoor space. Could be so much better with TLC.

Got the share bathroom cabins. Listed as having aircon and it doesn’t- was exceptionally hot with limited airflow. Cabin also only has a lockable screen door and curtain. Property is not as advertised. The shared bathroom and kitchen facilities are good but 0 pressure in the ladies showers, could barely have a shower. General facilities are good, but advertising air conditioning and having not even a fan was NOT acceptable. Asked for an iron and ironing board as well - didn’t get it (was on request).

Great location, neat and tidy site. It was nice to have a table and chairs outside on the verandah. Most of the staff were lovely and helpful. The cabin size was good but furniture wasnt right for the size of it. The 2 beds were so old and the mattresses sagged all the way down to the floor. I am a petite person so it wasnt due to my weight. The beds need to be replaced, as do the pillows and covers.

The property was in a good location. The fridge had been switched off, so there was water on the floor. One of the sockets did not work. The fire blanket is not in a good location and too near the cook top. In the event of a fire on the cook top, you would not have a clear access path to it. The internet was extremely unstable. The kitchen ware looked like it had been bought at charity shops.

We stayed in the ensuite cabins and enjoyed our stay. The room was clean, the front desk helpful, the showers provided hot water and the kitchenette was very useful. Only complaint would be the poor wifi and old tv’s which are not smart tvs being in the rooms as they dont have netflix/screen share or alike. Otherwise highly recommended.
