Our Most Favourite Place

This is one of our most favourite places to get away for a few nights and play on an awesome golf course. Staff are lovely and very accommodating both at the resort and the local pub which is only a 5-minute walk from the resort. Plenty of choices with the buffet breakfast. A place that is close to home, but you really feel as though you are on holiday when staying here.

Mixed reviews

I read the varying reviews on this hotel and I was a little wary but tbf we had no issues with the place. Yes it’s dated but it sort of goes with the wackiness of it all. Good sleep, decent room with a view, great breakfast and all within a reasonable price. The view from upper rooms are just worthy of * themselves. Don’t be put off by bad reviews the hotel is fine and cheap.

Location was really nice and beds were very comfortable and well cleaned. The shower curtains however had a little dirt on them and the shower water was irritable on the eyes after some time. The balcony table wasn’t properly cleaned, but staff were really nice and check in and check out was quick and smooth. Overall good place to stay if you are looking for a weekend getaway to play golf or visit the countryside.

Good hotel with a lot of potential.

Hotel was clean and comfortable. Room air con tempremental - one minute very cold and then warm, without even touching the dial. Showing its age but that did not impact on our stay. Service was great. Lillies restaurant not open for dinner but local pavilion open and a short walk or free shuttle away. Pool area good with a nice spa pool. Golf was great.

Golf course is fantastic , a credit to the understaffed greenkeepers considering i stayed a few days after the xmas storms of 2023. Alan and Georgia in the pro shop nice and friendly and professional. Actual resort is older 90's style which i didnt mind and for the price (penthouse for under $500 for 3 nights) i thought was fair value. Not much to do there if your not a golfer but would recommend one or two nights for non golfers. Kangaroos everywhere etc and a couple of snall pools, Pavillion Tavern 2-300 metre walk, once again older but food okay.
