We were impressed with the rooms. Very clean and tidy. Well maintained. The young lady at reception was well presented, softly spoken and communicated well. Check in and out was fast and no fuss. The smart TV's keep the kids occupied. The pool looked good as did the pirate ship kids play ground but didn't have time to try them out. The kitchen had all we needed to eat dinner and breakfast. And the bathroom was clean and everything worked well. Only 2 things I would like to see improved. Is the car park needs a little maintenance as there were a couple of pot holes in it. And me being picky the beds are not very solid. In that I mean I'm not a feather weight and if it held me it should hold most reasonable sized people.

Room was great, clean and lots of space. Really good location. We aren’t form Oz and struggled to call to arrange late check in. My only bit of feedback would to make that easier. Once we made contact clear instructions how to get in with a map to find our lodge. 100% would stay again. Thank you!
