The size as we don't like to be squashed.

Cosy and sufficient

10.0

It may not be the ritz and it has some cosmetic and maybe in need of a deep clean ... Very quaint and perfect for a family! I felt safe and secure and they had some breakfast options in room! So well thought out! We will definitely stay again!

Some people may notice their is some deep cleaning needed in areas but fantastic for its age and price!!

No value for money at this place

4.0

Said breakfast was inlcude but only a few small items in the room. Pretty poor really

The shower in the tub was ordinary.

Malcolm · AU · 2026-07-19

Definitely not worth the $189

2.0

Garbage in the bedside drawers, 1 side of double bed electric blanket didn’t turn work when on, other side was slightly warm on 3. Single bed was slightly warm on 2 didn’t work on 3. Air conditioning didn’t like to work on heat, shower had to be on full blast hot to stop the pipes loudly vibrating. Why was there a full wall mirror covering the back shower wall too?
