We have stayed here a number of time before and enjoyed it. This time though the place looked tired. In the bathroom one of the shower heads was loose so it shot water all over the bathroom. One of the taps was loose too. The fridge didn’t keep the items cold. What frustrated us the most was on Friday morning at 9.10am the cleaners started cleaning the hallway and rooms beside us and then yelling down the hallway to each other. Really made our sleep in so special! You would think with check out being 10am they wouldn’t start cleaning until after this so there guests could enjoy a nice sleep in. Just wasn’t luxury experience it used to be, especially for the amount you pay.

The spa was not clean. The room was ok, but for the price of the stay was not worth the money. The spa there is horrible, go in to Hanmer and go to the spa next to the hot pools much better. Was not told at breakfast that the cappuccino and latte were an extra charge. Will never go here again. Old and outdated property

We had a pleasant stay. The room was excellent and very large. bathroom a bit dated but still in great condition. i only downgraded because the hotel was cold on entry to reception i think it was colder inside than outside. our room was nice and warm but the rest of the place was freezing. Some areas did not appear operational. it lacked that feeling of welcome. it felt like they were saving money on heating.

I liked the location and views from the property. The room was lovely. Just needed the shower head tightening up so it didn't spray everywhere. The staff were wonderful and nothing was any trouble. would love to have a coffee machine in the room so I had more choice for drinks. A heated towel rail would be great so I can use my towels more than once as there was not anywhere to hang them to dry them.
