Fantastic group getaway for Spilt Milk

Very close to EPIC for events, functional kitchen and AMAZING staff. They proactively contacted me to offer an extra night for a reduced price rather than making heaps more by pushing us to get out by the checkout time. Great setup and surprisingly quiet

Nice, comfortable, neat place to stay!

8.0

It is a nice clean place with all amenities to have a comfortable stay.

Locks for toilet and bathroom didn’t work. So, if you are travelling with family, it is a hassle.

Great location, friendly staff, clean facility.

8.0

Kitchen, number of beds, location was excellent as we stayed directly opposite family residences.

A couple of lights did not work as well as a switch on a double power point. I think the overall preventative maintenance on the Villa was lacking. I am of the understanding that the Carotel will not be operating by the end of 2026 as land developers will be taking over to develop multistory housing units.
