Big and clean rooms, but beds are on the smaller side and the pool isn’t usable. It was great to have the BBQ as there weren’t many dining options around.

I love staying at this property when touring on my BMW bike. It has a large verandah over most units Not big enough for cars but a bike fits snugly in front of the rooms. Probably an 8 kay trip to town though.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Nice spacious and quiet unit even though it was located along a 110km/h highway. It is also nearby many wineries. The only issue we had was the electric kettle had quite a bit of scaling, most likely caused by boiling of hard water from the region. We would still recommend the place overall.

Enjoyed and appreciated self contained facilities with cooking and food preparation facilities Found TV Reception limited especially Channel 7 as unable to watch the footy. Also WIFI was intermittent using computer for online chat and pleased we had brought our own device which worked better However enjoyed our comfortable country stay and would recommend location to others Thanks for a relaxing stay

Marlin

Liked: Cleanliness
Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
This property is 10 minutes from the nearest town with night time dining, unfortunately there is no taxi service in the area and neither the hotel our local eating establishments offer a courtesy bus. It's very unfortunate considering you are in wine country and one or two would be nice with dinner without the risk of driving home. This hotel is really inconveniently located and makes getting around a real struggle. Also I stayed for 3 nights and my room was not serviced once whilst I was there. At $200 per night I expect a little more. I probably wouldn't stay here again.

Karen

Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
We stayed here 10 years ago and it was fantastic. Large spacious and well designed rooms facing into a very large garden area. Whilst the rooms are affordable and still spacious with mini cooking facilities, the whole property is shabby and not maintained. Garden badly overgrown, weeds through paths, couldn’t see through filthy windows, badly in need of paint and carpet cleaning. Looks like management needs to lift their game!

This place has seen better days. Horrendously kept on the outside - weeds growing everywhere, clutter. Just very, very poor in all respects. Avoid.

Simon

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This place was dirty and full of bugs, flies and various creepy crawlies. Also they didn't clean the rooms on the days we stayed there. On arriving, our first stop was the Foodland hardware aisle to buy big spray, a fly swatter and various other knickknacks to help manage the bug infestation. The breakfast room was an even worse travesty. This is a property that would have some potential if the owner were willing to invest in doing up the place and keeping it clean!
