very nice place to stay.

9.0

The view is brilliant.

The lighting is a bit dark, no working space such as desk or desk lamp. The internet wifi is too slow.

Guest review

3.0

Location and views were amazing. Property grounds are beautifully designed and maintained.

The villa was dated, basic and dirty. Nothing luxurious about the room, not like bookings photographs.

Brydie · AU · 2026-07-21

7.0

Polite staff.

Adam · AU · 2026-07-21

Great place for a short break, very relaxing.

8.0

Great buffet breakfast. Friendly, helpful staff. Fantastic location overlooking the golf course and out towards the mountains. Good sized rooms with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.

The room could have been a bit cleaner. Quite dusty and the bathroom sink hadn’t been thoroughly cleaned. Bathroom floor flooded after using the shower.
