Either the property needs a substantial makeover, or owners should consider updating photos on website to match. Cabin had not been cleaned adequately prior to arrival. TV in room does not allow you to plug in hdmi and only has a couple of free to air channels available with poor reception. Dishes require to be washed in bathroom sink. For over $200 per night I would expect not to have the clothes line in the bathroom fall off when I try to hang my towel up.

My family and I stayed in the family cabin. The kids bunk bed sheets weren’t changed from previous people, there was holes In the walls from door handles and broken tiles in the bathroom. The benches weren’t wiped down and roaches in the bathroom. Broken fly screens which resulted to the cabin being full of flies. Definitely wasn’t a pleasant stay and not worth $670 for 3 nights will not be coming back.

Every single toiletry in my cabin was empty. Shampoo, conditioner, body wash, hand soap and dish soap. Found it ironic they had items to wash your dishes but no sink to wash up in. The basin the the bathroom didn’t drain so any sort of rinsing of plates had to be done in the shower. Plates and bowls were dusty and not cleaned in a long time. A previous guests pyjamas were still under the bunk beds. There was an inch of DIRT not dust actual dirt under the lounge and beds. No extra bin liners available. Extra sheets in cupboard but no extra pillows or blankets. The cleaners simply do not care by the looks of it and the owner/managers obviously do not do check overs. Such a shame because the location of this accommodation is as so good.

The size of the apartment and amount of bedding was great. The pool was lovely. The room was clean and the bathroom was updated and clean. But the room needs maintenance and repairs. The oven wasn’t working, there were no cutting knives provided, the kitchen tap was half hanging out. Overall though, we would book there again.

DO NOT STAY HERE!! Filthy. Disgusting. Falling down. Apathetic staff only care about taking your money. Tiles falling off, mould, holes and hair in bathroom, dirty crockery, glasses and cutlery, not enough chairs, filthy inside and out, exposed walls in children room showing foam inside, rubbish in pool and outside areas unkept, bbq filthy, no help from staff didnt care. Owners terrorised and tried to evict local residents, cabins currently in process of being condemned by council.

Our stay there was terrible. My partner got bites from bed bugs all over her and the dog got fleas from the cabin. It didnt look like the dishes in the cabin we stayed in had been washed properly. Was not a tidy place at all. The grass was overgrown too. Dont recommend staying there.

Contrary to website and billboard info, property did NOT have a restaurant or bar! Swimming pool was far too filthy to even dip a toe in! No direct access to lake. Room door security chain had nothing to connect to. Would NEVER stay here again!!

Stayed in a newly renovated cabin on the water of Lake Illawarra. Found it very clean, with new furniture, nice big TV and a very comfortable bed with quality linen. Very serene.

Rooms need some TLC, carpet was filthy feet were black walking on carpet but overall cleanliness was ok not great! Shower head was leaking toilet wasn’t put in it moved when you sat on it and power points weren’t in properly live power visable! Wouldn’t be my first choice of accommodation but definitely in a last resort situation I would stay again.

We stayed in a cabin with partial views of Illawarra Lake. The cabin was comfortable, clean, had everything we needed, and it was roomy enough. A beautiful, tranquil, and relaxing environment… sitting on the veranda watching the swans on the lake, as well as the awesome sunsets. The staff were friendly and obliging. Highly recommended😊

Inside was fairly ordinary re walls, shower curtain, Staining on Lounge was bad, put our towels on it. Beds very comfortable and linens excellent. Outside was also ordinary with verandah dirty.
Kids loved the pool area

Check in was ok. We had to go back to reception to organise soap for the shower and hand soap, as they hadn’t been refilled.
My son found Oreos biscuits in between the mattress and bunk bed frame.
Outside the rooms - there were cigarette butts in un-emptied ashtrays.
I found the beds comfortable and the room was clean (apart from the Oreos)

Poor quality beds, the room had a bad smell! All furniture was poor, all off the paint on the doors walls was very dirty.
Bathroom was very dirty the vanity was fooling apartment. I filled this paperwork after we left the inn, or l would of have photos to give youas well. All of the towels and bedding was clean.

Extremely tired rooms. Air con didn’t work even after l replaced the batteries in the remote which was dead flat when l picked it up. Really needed aircon to work cause it was pretty hot. The tap in the kitchen was broken. No lamp in the room, yet other rooms had them. Paid $195 was probably work $80.

Good value for money. It was clean, generous and spacious. It was missing a kitchen sink though.

The cabin itself was clean and tidy. Although a few things in need of a bit of love and attention.
The TV was very glitchy and didn’t work well enough to watch anything. Comfortable bed, working fridge and shower. Very basics.

A lot of confusion over my booking had me sent to a sister property nearby only to have to return again. The room allocated was not what I booked… not sure if that was a hotel error or Expedia. The room was clean and comfortable but the air conditioner remote was not working so the night was cold and the outside light directly above the windows to the room could not be blocked by the curtains so sleep was difficult with the bed positioned right against the window.
1.0
The cabin smelled, floors in very poor condition, tiles broken in the bathroom, access was restricted as steps very steep and limited space for parking as garden bed jutted out with no garden. Dog poo not picked up, very poor as we paid $200 per night

The good - Receptionist was very friendly and helpful - and apologetic for the several concerns I raised. Now the not so good..
The room was dirty - dust and other patron's items left under the bed. No kitchen facilities ( such as a sink).
The only form of heating was a very noisy air-conditioner that had a very noisy rattle/vibration.
Basic fridge with no freezer section. There are no accessible power points near the bed.They are way in behind the bed head.
Curtains barely cover the windows.
Noise from other guests upstairs went unabated (kids stomping feet on floor, running around outside noisily).
I had a "pet friendly" room - but glad I did not bring him along...Just because a room is pet friendly does not mean it needs to be so devoid of basic facilities for human guests!
I wont stay there again.

Affordable and close to fun outdoor activities, we enjoyed the room for a family of 5. However the dining table has only 3 random chairs and they are filthy, like roadside finds. Some new chairs would be a nice addition to this room which is otherwise in nice clean modern condition.
