    "Awesome little gem play ground and heated pool for the kids lots to do shops and restaurants within walking distance. Staff cheerful and happy to help if needed. We booked the 2 bedroom self contained stand alone cabin abit disappointed with lack of privacy as when u walk out on the balcony there were campers parked up right in front of u so felt like my space was invaded abit, when there were plenty of other spaces available and it was no cheaper then a motel unit. Bed had sunk in the middle..."

    "Has been reviewed on previously, we found similar issues .. Clinton was very friendly on check in .. Our upgraded room from studio to one bedroom upstairs at the very end was ok. Clean linen and towels, beds were comfortable. Not having an allocated carpark was inconvenient, at one stage having to park away from our room. Very tired building, fittings, carpet etc.. maintenance sorry to say is well overdue. The pumbling is questionable.. very noisey and shower was terrible .. we needed to have it..."
