Our villa was very comfortable and well equipped. Unfortunately on our 2nd night the power in our villa went off and we had to transfer everything to another villa for the night. The amenities are very good but the pool behind the tennis court needs some attention. There is hardly anywhere to sit and some sort of shade structure is needed.

On arrival we were made to wait 1.5 hours before we could enter our room. Reception had limited staff and struggled with a long queue of grumpy clients. The room here was very nice, though the service was deplorable. 40 min for a cocktail made by bar staff who were young and inexperienced It was on more than one occasion this occurred. And you could hear the people waiting were grumbling amongst themselves about the delays everyday. Food in restaurant is poor with little choice. Breakfast however was excellent with a nice variety each day and a lovely chef who was accomodating with a smile and beautifully mannered towards all asking for her to do something extra. Big tick for her !! ( 17/2/25) Golf course is really good though the paths for golf buggies need desperate repair in a lot of areas Quite scary the size of holes you must navigate tbh But course itself was well maintained and we enjoyed our day on it. Rooms are nice and well equipped. Overall the hospitality side of this resort lets it down terribly. A shame when it has so much to offer if run with more skilled and managed staff who can communicate with enthusiasm not an attitude of how fast can I go home ( with rolling eyes) Overall 2.5 stars out of 5

The villa we stayed in 2 bedroom 2 bathroom was fabulous. Fully equipped if you just wanted to have a peaceful stay home time in serene surroundings….. but walkable to an amazing restaurant if you wanted the perfect no cook holiday! The villa/apartment was 2 storey and had fabulous views across the valley…. It was spacious, light and airy with kangaroos coming in close view in the morning on the golf course. If you had to list any fault it would only be the lack of any flat access…… wherever you went it was stairs. A small challenge for oldies, but we managed fine. A great time was had by all…… would highly recommend this property and its generous friendly staff in all areas of the resort. We will be back!

Outdated property in need of some TLC

Rooms starting to look a little dated. Pool was dirty, one tennis court unusable due to the surface being all ripped. Looking a bit tired and dated but still charging 5 star rates. Lunch menu of pizzas were of a very poor standard, I’ve eaten frozen pizzas better than the ones that were on offer. On the plus side there was EV charging and check in/check out was a breeze

Rooms are nice enough, and reception staff were friendly and helpful. The biggest letdown was food and beverage. Most of the waitstaff are 18-20 year old males with no people skills or knowledge of anything to do with thier job, all working hard to do as little as possible. On first night there I just wanted a simple bistro meal so I ordered a fish and chips and recieved a salad that had been cut two days earlier with prebattered frozen fish sticks. We had breakfast included, was also a huge disappointment, was a stock standard Bidfood breakfast - precooked sauages, little muffins from the freezer, frozen bladder eggs with the terrible taste. The middle aged lady cooking was very rude when several people around me dared to ask for a poached or fried egg. The only redemption for food and beverage was on our second morning breakfast, 7th January. While the food was the same options, the young chef with the bandana in the kitchen had done a wonderful job of presentation and keeping the food fresh. Was very friendly and had put poached and fried eggs on the buffet. They had done the absolute best with the food they had to work with. If this young chef would ever like a job at a resort to be proud of they can reach out to me. Also at this breakfast was a middle aged waiter, I think his name was Murray, - very friendly and helpful.

We had a two bedroom villa which was very spacious and tidy, plenty of room for a group or family. The pool area is very dated and bar near pool was closed during the busy Christmas/ NY period which was disappointing. There is not enough staff which impacted service and don't bother calling reception from your room as it just rings out. We were in a villa close to the main area but if you happen to get a further one expect to be walking up and down hills. We had thought there was an adult only pool but we must have misread. Lots of kids in the pools so if your looking for having quite cocktail by the pool this is not the place. Dinner at Oaks & vine was surprisingly good and we really enjoyed the 3 course meal. Golf course outlook from bar area was nice.

On paper the facilities of the resort were great, room layout was perfect for a family of 4 and the food was also good. Unfortunately the resort itself is just quite run down - lots of broken or loose tiles around the pool, peeling paint, and broken equipment. The villa was not kitted out very well, we didnt have enough cutlery for 4 people, or any knife capable of slicing an apple. It seems the kitchen just had a mish-mash of supplies left behind from previous guests. Housekeeping was also not amazing, we found a lot of hair on the walls in the shower and spattered make-up all over the walls and counter top in the bathroom. The property has great potential but has perhaps seen better days.

We stayed in a two bedroom unit which was in the 700s. The resort is built on Hillside so if you don’t like steps do not stay here! Some of the units have 30 and 40 stairs down to the units from where you park your car, other units have 10 steps down. Units are two story bedrooms are upstairs so again you’re using stairs. Anyone with the mobility issues will not be able to stay in this resort. The units vary in degree of renovation. We were staying with a large party in multiple units and everybody’s units were at a different standard. Some of the units are a little tired this includes the furniture. Also if you go for the breakfast option it is either a steep walk down or and a very steep walk back up or drive down and drive back up. There is a free shuttle option but that’s to your car park which you’re in one of those units with 40 stairs. You need to walk up those stairs just to get to the bus.
