10/10 Excellent

We stayed creekside. The room was clean, spacious and new. It well exceeded our expectations. The staff were lovely - very accommodating. It was excellent value with the pool entry included (about $40 each), towel ($10) and locker ($7). For a family of five, that alone is over $500 for the two days of swimming.
