What guests think

At The Beachcomber Hotel & Resort, an Ascend Collection Resort, travellers praise the scenic lakeside setting, modern rooms, and lively pool and dining spaces, alongside consistently friendly staff and generally clean, well-kept facilities that create a relaxed getaway atmosphere.

Many guests highlight comfortable beds and the appeal of lake-facing balconies. Recurring drawbacks include limited parking due to public visitors, air-conditioning that can be noisy or ineffective, and occasional noise from the pool or bar areas. Dining is generally well regarded for quality and views, though some find the menu limited or the venue a bit loud. Expect a scenic, social resort stay best enjoyed with a lake-view room.

Second time staying at the beachcomber. Beautiful facilities, clean spacious rooms. Lovely breakfast, pub and pool area. Just some minor things aircon is very noisy in the room. Robes in the rooms would be a nice touch. Also the bar at the pool area isn't always open so you have to go upstairs to order food and drinks. Music at the pool area would be nice all day everyday at the pool. Would definitely recommend a stay here for a weekend away.

start with the staff they are amazing people very friendly very helpful and i loved the service...but there are few thing not convenient like the stench from the river is so bad you can't sleep at night and can't sit outside in the day time.and there are over 100 birds congregated in a big tree in the back yard of the hotel where the balconies are and they are so noisy all day around , and the pool have his own bar but unfortunately it's closed all week and if you need drink you have to order it from inside bars except weekend it's open, last the food and the drink in the hotel it's very expensive and not worth it every day , and overall two days just enough for relaxing .

Had a great stay! The check-in and check-out process was easy, and the staff were all very friendly and helpful. The room was clean and tidy. The only downside was the parking — it can be a bit tricky, as spots are sometimes taken by bistro visitors who aren’t staying at the hotel. Otherwise, everything else was smooth and enjoyable.

Very good location, great dining, great views, staff very friendly. Only reason I don’t give it a 5 was because the furniture in the room wasn’t the cleanest. Really needs a good steam clean and the bathroom desperately needs a fan. Besides that we enjoyed our stay.

Beachcomber in the lobby and the amenities are beautiful, fresh, vibrant and welcoming. Wish I could say the same for the rooms. The hospital sheets on the bed and the marks on curtains. No privacy looking out into a car park and vice versa them to you. It feels like you go from 5 star luxury to a budget motel when you step in the room. The saving grace is the bathroom, however odd design to put the shower handle so far away from the shower head.

Our room was freezing, we told reception and was told there had been issues and to turn it off. The next morning a repair man arrived and agreed it only pumped out freezing air and it would be looked at. We went out all day and returned to a freezing room. So we turned the unit off again and turned on the TV which didn't work. Told reception again and finally the TV control batteries were replaced and the TV worked. Very disappointing.

Would love more unprocessed foods like soups and salads - everything comes with chips. Bar is great, plenty of choice and reasonable price.

Front desk girl at checkin was very rude, spent over $100 on dinner reservation at 7:30 and didn't touch a thing on the plate, girl at bar was night, chef needs a beard cover, rat running around outside dinner area, light in room was flicking, breakfast was good, massive waste of money and wouldn't recommend and couldn’t come back, this is also my first complaint I’ve ever made online so you should take it seriously.

Lovely property. Booked for a relaxing weekend as a couple. Just be aware that the water view rooms look over the pool and the noise from the pool carries allot so it’s hard to relax on your balcony and enjoy some serenity. There’s often lots of people around the pool from open to close. Lovely rooms & wonderful dining options. Also highly recommend the Chinese across the road.
