I cannot speak highly enough on how accomodating, helpful and cheerful the staff were. Nothing was a problem. Everyone, from the checkin staff to the waitresses and bar staff were so lovely. It was such a nice experience to see that they all seemed to genuinely enjoyed their work and want to make your stay a pleasant experience.

The check in staff gave us a mud map and sent us out in the dark to find a very difficult location for the room. The room had more dirt on the floor than the outdoors. The mirror in the bathroom was dusty. At the restaurant we ate 2 of the specials and both were very over cooked. In general we found the staff were quite unfriendly and behaved in such a manner as if they were doing us a favour.

The first five minutes of the stay were truly the best- check in was smooth and the staff were kind. It all went downhill from there. The outdated room was accompanied by less than clean conditions. The room, though equipped with a walk out patio, disappointed with its 1970’s decor and generous back flow of a sewer stench. Sleeping in the car would have been a better option for my wife (cleanliness is of her highest priority). The dinner options felt more in line with a resort from the 90’s than today but the food was edible. If you are looking for no frills and a Howard Johnson’s feel go for it. Though we booked for the return drive back to Sydney, my wife implored me to book elsewhere. I chose to save our marriage.
