Our family had a wonderful stay! The hotel is very family-friendly — the school holiday facilities and activities for kids were amazing and kept them entertained throughout our stay. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the rooms were clean and comfortable. We’d definitely come back again for another family holiday.

We stayed in a Superior Room in the Captain’s Quarters, facing the quiet street out back, and it was perfect for us. The only thing that could be improved is having a fan in the bathroom, as it took quite a while for the steam to clear before you could use the mirror. There’s great family-oriented entertainment and plenty of activities for both kids and adults. The on-site convenience store was really handy. The pool and water park were both fantastic. The spa was always crowded with little kids, but that’s to be expected. The food was amazing and convenient, with a great selection. The staff were always friendly and accommodating too. We’ll definitely visit again in the future!

Cleaners did an awesome job! Loved having the beds made every day. Staff very kind, helpful and considerate. Food prices extremely high and food quality was very sub-standard. One of the staff at Penguins restaurant got annoyed with us for ordering milkshakes twice. When i pulled him up on it he apologised. Overall a great stay and kids loved it.
