"It was ok for the price, bed and pillows not the most comfiest and room a little dated but very spacious. One part of room not curtained although mid part of glass was not see thru however as a joint balcony bottom third totally see thru so we felt uneasy leaving our bags which could potentially be in view if someone wanted to have a sticky beak Despite the above I would stay there again"

"Clean and fresh with very comfy beds. The kitchen had everything we needed for a short stay, and a lovely fresh fruit bowl, a loaf of bread and some yummy gluten free biscuits. Butter and milk in the fridge.The only issue I had was I was cold! Yes, there is a reverse-cycle airconditioner in the living area, but no other heating, not even in the freezing cold bathroom.The bed was nice and warm though.It was peaceful and quiet and has a nice outlook and yes, Kookaburras calling in the morning.I'd probably stay again but not in Winter!"
