We apologies this was your experience with us. We take your remarks seriously and are making enquiries as to why your call to the manager was never passed on. We hope you understand that staffing was limited on Christmas Day and Boxing Day, and we do not advertise serviced rooms, we are sorry for the confusion here.

I was disappointed my room was changed without consultation after discussing what we required we had a room we couldn't use due to steps so we were moved to original room we booked. Then to top it off they booked our room for another person as well who came to check into our room with her key. I am not keen on giving a bad review, but no one bothered to contact me to explain or apologize for the inconvenience, I had to call them myself. Lovely property and a great location. There was a smoke alarm sitting on the bench that had fallen from the ceiling. The unit was immaculate and loved everything about it. But the staff failed with supplying customer service.

Thank you for taking the time to leave us your feedback Sharon. We sincerely apologize for the room allocation error, this is a very rare occurrence and we are implementing measures to ensure this does not happen again. The room change was a free upgrade to our top standard of room, and most of the time our guests are very pleased to have received this, however we agree your requirement's for a ground floor unit should have been more seriously considered before this change was made. We are glad to hear the location and resort itself were positive aspects to your stay with us, and hope to see you again when you next visit Agnes Water.

Nice place, close to beach and very clean. We stayed in a 2 bedroom beach house pool. The photos were miss-leading showing the pool having a glass pool fence and at the end of the balcony. Our one was actually a metal fence and tucked around the side. Also had little issues in the room: bbq wouldn’t light and dishwasher rack was broken. Would we stay again? Yes, but these are things I would be mindful of.

Thank you for leaving a review and some notes for improvement. You will see all our units are pictured individually on our web, so as to avoid any confusion about pool gates, but we appreciate your notifying us of the BBQ and dishwasher rack. We hope to welcome you back to the resort, and secure you a room with a glass pool fence, next time you are in the region!
