We were so excited to stay in a resort but we were left feeling disappointed. It's very run down, overgrown. WiFi connection wasn't great at all, Vodafone reception was also terrible. The small pools water was very murky , full of dead leaves and slimy when you got in. For a family resort two high chairs at the restaurant is not nearly enough. We joined many a family trying to wrangle a toddler on our lap and eat dinner with high chairs nowhere to be seen. Swim up bar definitely hasn't been operational in a very long time , it's covered in dirt and animal droppings, we were all excited for a swim up mocktail , so that was a let down. Photos on the website should be updated to reflect the condition better. In saying all that, staff were very friendly and incredibly helpful. Food at the restaurant was nice. The big pools are good for swimming and the price we paid was definitely fitting.

We had a four night mini getaway for our family over school holidays. Our studio quad room was perfect for our group and daily housekeeping kept it neat tidy the entire time. Only issue was with the tv remote where it didn’t quite pair correctly for that brand of tv. the volume button would not work and volume was stuck on max. Finally fixed it two hours later when we worked out how to reset to factory sound settings using some very creative button combinations. Gave us a good laugh though! Facilities were great and food was similar quality to taverns & RSLs. Brother league tavern was a short walk and taxis were quick to pick up and short distance into town. This time we used the luggage room both before and after check in and out which allowed us to use the facilities and go on tours as our flights were early and late night. Best amenity provided was use of the guest room & showers. We were able to spend our final day hanging in the pools and have a shower prior to out late night flight.

Loved the gental pace Didn't like- the screens on the rooms we're not sealed and did not keep mosquitoes out of the room when allowing fresh air to flow in. Also this was my second stay and didn't like that there was no pool bar at the second pool closer to the back car park. Also would have liked a little shop so you were able to purchase stuff rather than going to Woolworths or those very expensive vending machine. Love that there was free Wi-Fi that it was very unstable at night and made it difficult to watch our Netflix on the television.
