You get what you pay for and this place is perfectly adequate. There were plenty of minor faults, such as a missing lightbulb, one severely flickering lightbulb, lack of on-site parking for the number of units available. We couldn't figure out how to turn the TV on using the universal remote provided and one of the bunk beds had loose screws that made the ladder pretty wobbly. But given it's the cheapest place in town that's not overly surprising. It is nice and secluded and it's nice to be able to let the kids run on the grass outside.

2/5 Poor

Travelled with partner
Liked: Cleanliness
Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
The unit was lovely and clean. We were only given one face cloth for a two person stay over night. The shower took a long time to reach hot and it would not mix with the cold to be able to shower. It was either scolding hot or freezing cold. The ply of the toilet paper was bad that it was hard to rip off to use it just ripped to small pieces when you touched it. The only place to sit in the unit was on the bed (no chairs). We were told it was a motel unit that we were renting for the night so we expected to have a kettle and cups and saucers with tea bags and milk. When I went to the main Kitchen they informed me that none were suppled. We were very disappointed as we paid $86.00 for one nights stay.
