A little dated but good views from balcony. Sadly the lower level rooms had insufficient parking which was not ideal

Hello MarkWe thank you for your feedback and advise that we are currently planning on more renovations. In relation to the carpark, due to the configuration of the rooms we are unable to provide car parking outside all rooms. WE do hope to see you back in the very near future.

Great touch of the old retro style property still shown in the rooms, now with a bright , tasteful pallette of natural neutrals. Revamped sporting facilities & outdoor areas, exceptional pool & firepit to rest, refresh & reconnect.
