The room had a musty smell.

This motel is rundown, dirty and appears to be used for low cost accomodation for long-stay tenants. The pictures are entirely misleading. Our two bedroom apartment was furnished with an odd selection of old beds & furniture. The curtains were filthy. The grounds are unkempt, with weeds and cobwebs everywhere. This is not a place to spend time with family. We received a refund with little protest. The nightly cost was akin to 5 star rates.

I arrived at 1pm to find reception locked. Called the number provided and a gentleman came to check me in.
Said I was booked into a hillview spa suite but when I saw the amount of stairs that had to be climbed to reach it, asked if there was anything lower down. He didn’t offer any alternative but asked me if I was good with stairs. Now I will be 80 this year and reasonably fit but no way able to carry my suitcase up. However a staff member assisted by delivering my suitcase to the room.
Was disappointed when I unlocked the door as the decor was, to say the least, very lack lustre. The red couch and armchair looked like they had been picked up on the side of the road. The chair’s lining underneath was hanging down.
In the kitchen there was only one cup and one glass, a few plates and some cutlery but no plug for the sink and no tea towel.
The bathroom was reasonable but only one cake of soap. The cupboards and the architraves are in bad need of repair.
It takes several minutes for the hot water to come through..
The decking outside is in bad repair. I felt like I was going to fall through it in several places.
The back garden is full of weeds.
I stayed 3 nights and not once was my bed made. There was evidence that housekeeping has been there as the rubbish bin was emptied and the towels changed but no bath mat left on the first day and only once was milk and coffee topped up.
On the day of my departure, there was no one about to help me with my case.

I booked this place as it had a restaurant and bar but discovered after checking in they were closed and it appeared they had been closed for a while, so that was disappointing. Bed was comfortable and room was clean but decor very dated. There were no point points next to the bed so charging phones overnight was a nuisance especially as there was no bedside clock and I use my phone as an alarm and to check the time overnight.

Hotel definitely does not look anything like advertised. Pretty run down and not maintained well. We were there for a wedding and decided to go up a little early to relax and couldn’t even use the spa in our room due to lack of hot water. When reporting it we were told to “wait a few hours”. Tried again in the morning with same issues. Also there is meant to be a restaurant but it was closed. No room service or mini bar and manuals refer to “dial 9 for reception” and there is no phone in the rooms. Also no one bothers to come and turn down the rooms during your stay. I reported the spa again on check out to which I was told someone would call and organise compensation - but a week later and it never happened. We were also told by another couple staying that they tried to check in at 4pm and their room was “trashed” and not even cleaned yet. Definitely won’t be coming back here again, very disappointing

Stayed for a wedding, so just one night. It was ok but they need to work on their cleaning… ours was barely average and several others were bad. I take my own pillow everywhere and was glad, the one provided smelled

The property itself is amazing it's a shame it's not been run to its full potential it could be suitable for so many businesses types and ideas the property is also home to an endangered species of possum the leader beater possum. I hope that the property finds its way and is a celebration and holiday hub once again!

Arrived at room to find pile of rubbish outside door. Room and yards are tired and in need of maintenance. Chipped furniture no tea towel to dry dishes and 1/2 used detergent. Cobwebs in bathroom chips on taps and sink, water damaged doors. Iron leaks water all over my clothes and floor. No love or care evident .
1.0
Totally inadequate provision of consumables. Equipment (washing iron) corroded spilled rust on shirt for wedding. So did replacement. Just being run into the ground. Owners have no clue. Avoid even if you’re a 3/4 star person.

Can do with a bit of renovation but staff were pretty friendly

It was convenient as we had a Wedding down the road, the light in bathroom didn’t work, no fan or window in bathroom so door needed to stay open.
There was 3 of us & in the fridge there was a tiny little one portion of milk.
Definitely over priced should only cost 120.00 a night not $197.00 we will not come back.

The room had two double beds, capable of sleeping 4ppl. Yet there was only 1chair to sit on, 2cups, 2 glasses, no ice tray, no tea towel, Yet it had an induction cooker & frypan..? No dish sponge or liquid dish soap..? One tiny soap morsel, 2 towels 1 face washer. No shampoo’s or conditioner. It’s usually an impromptu decision to get a room, so these items are essential. For $150 a night, I was disappointed. After one shower, there was no soap left & 2 damp towels. Iv stayed in budget rooms for half this price with 4 of everything. I just felt it was less than minimum required. It stood out. I’m sure providing more basic essentials would work in your favour as guests would return more willingly. It is an important factor for me when considering future bookings. It’s the difference between an ‘ok’ stay, & a ‘great’ stay. The property looks inviting, but for me, the experience was not as good as it could have been.. however, fortunately, these issues are very easy to fix. Thank you for taking the time to read this far.
P.S, the elec blinds were unplugged & no remote control for them. Had to close manually. If fixtures are present, they are expected to be functional. If not, remove them. It just looks like no one cares enough to have them working. Just offering my personal opinion.. Thanks. Mel.

Some one tried to break into my room at 1.30am. They victim blamed me over it and demanded to know why I didn’t “just call the police”. Offered me $75 for the experience as part of the so called refund. Which was not the cost of the night, instead that’s minus a cancellation fee. My room smelt like stale cigarettes smoke as well. They didn’t care. I do not recommend this place. Awful service and experience. The decode is ghastly too. Would never stay here again.

This Hotel could be lovely and I am sure it was once. We did not have a car and nothing is walking distance and no restaurant at the Hotel. Beds were comfortable and it was quiet.

The building and paths are very tired and in need of maintenance. The unit was dirty and unkept. Found a pair of socks left behind by someone else, shower/bathroom really bad. Won't stay there again.

The safety chain was missing from the front door,the lock on the door was a standard privacy lock thatwould be very easy to break.the door to the bathroom had not been cleaned in a long time. The toilet seat was very loose.
The room appeared to be very tired.the most disappointing aspect was we paid $249 for a room that was in a 2 1/2 star condition

Booked through Wotif. Booking was not picked up by the property, despite being fully paid for. Disconcerting when arriving late after a delayed flight.
Staff sorted it out, but could not access a room until 2 hours later.
