Arrived late, restaurant (?) closed, asked about breakfast, “too late” she cried. “Breakfast orders close at 7.00.pm”. Surely they could have provided a simple continental breakfast at short notice!

Thank you for your review, you arrived 1hour after the office normally is closed i was waiting in the office as a courtesy due to the weather and you not advising you would be after hours. Our restaurant is advertised as closed on Sundays on this web site and breakfast orders need to be in by 7pm if you had called to advise us of your very late arrival we could have discussed these issues.

Easy to get to when one is on the go, only it is a bit far to a place to eat when the local was closed on Sunday

First room shown was right on the highway with the noise you would expect from a room located there. Change of room organised to a Family room (for 2 pax)at an extra $35, which was very run down. Shower took over 5 minutes to heat up and had very little pressure. Room was clean but very tired

Hi you actually booked into a room with 1 bed (our most budget of all our rooms) for 4 guests we offered you another room for $35 instead of our advertised rate of $50 ($25 per guest). We thank you for writing this review because the water pressure issue we have never had before and have found a water leak which has now been resolved.

Sugar and soap were not available on day one, spoke to reception twice to remind them. Our room was serviced the first day but not the second.

Thank you for taking the time to write us a review. all you have said is correct. You did stay over an event weekend and the housekeepers did forget the soap in your room. It should not happen and almost never dose. Our housekeepers take pride in there work and this shows in our rooms. in response to your room not being serviced the second day our housekeepers write the time they come across a do not disturb sign on a room. if removed after and they have left for the day unfortunately we dont enter the room.
