This was our second stay. Unfortunately I did notice that there were areas in the too. That were not cleaned as they should. I found long black hairs on the counters in the kitchen which was not pleasant when I was needing to cook .i had to wipe over everything and there were sine areas which were not clean. The shower had mould on several area on the tiles . A spray of exit mould and a good scrub would have had this looking great . The property is lovely but these things make it disappointing

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The room was spacious, clean and surprisingly quiet. We only stayed for one night, but it was clear that the accommodation would have been fairly comfortable for a longer stay. The small kitchen area had (very) basic utensils, but may have been fine for making rudimentary snacks/breakfasts. Local restaurants, bars, and supermarket were just a few minutes walk from the hotel. The area was safe and relatively quiet, with many small parks and walking paths easy to access. One complaint was the unhelpful placement of the TV which, was placed in a position that made it difficult/uncomfortable to watch from the bed or from small dining table in the room. A swivel TV mount would have resolved this issue.

Great hotel but…

Great hotel. Lovely staff - very responsive. My only qualm was there were no curtains or black out blinds and the blinds did not cover the windows. So don’t expect a sleep in! We had rhe Sun boring into our rooms at 5:30 am. Thoroughly recommend but the hotel should make the small investment of block out window dressings.

The one bedroom suit was good, everything was very compacted into one room. Some kitchen utensils were missing so hard to cook. The power point for kettle and ammenities were too close to stove top. The privacy from the blinds need to be more privacy and longer in length to block window completely as it was very difficult to feel comfortable in the room without feeling that someone can see you entire silhouette.

The room was great. The staff were inconsistent in that there were friendly helpful staff and a couple of grumpy staff. The windows were filthy. I would have thought that they could get someone to spend 10 minutes going over that with a squeegy.

Unfortunately the couch was stained, doona also. Some of the cutlery hadn't been cleaned and there was a bad smell. I hope they can improve housekeeping. It seemed like they had not checked the room properly. The air-conditioning looked like it hadn't been serviced for a long time and was not working properly. The staff were nice and we were only there for one night but it was a disappointing stay.
