When booking I saw an airport transfer option for $157 (3pax) and knowing that it’s less than 10mins from the airport I opted for a taxi. It was a wonderful surprise to find out that there was a free shuttle! I think there must be an error on the Wotif booking page

Free shuttle from the airport late at night started our stay here. Everything about this hotel was excellent - the staff were without exception, the friendliest, most helpful and obliging I’ve ever come across. We stayed an extra night here because it was so comfortable. Lovely room, good restaurant, I just wish I had brought my togs because there was a heated pool! Highly recommend this hotel, very conveniently located near the airport.

The sheet on the mattress does not go to the end of the bed so crumpled up and is very uncomfortable... nothing else matters if you don't sleep properly...
