The Kooralbyn Valley certainly still had remnants of its glory days - it isn't impeccably manicured or polished, and it would be clearly classed as out-dated... And, I LOVED IT! My family + friends with whom we spent the long Easter weekend also share my sentiments. The place felt oh-so-nostalgic and unpretentious. The rooms and amenities are basic and quite clean, the grounds are maintained well enough. The beds are very comfortable, and were made everyday. The permanent staff members welcome you with warm, genuine and friendly smiles, even in passing. Karen at check in was patient and very professional. Tanya, Ri and Jenean at Lilies Restaurant for the buffet breakfast could work the floor with their eyes closed! The small team at the Pavilion Tavern took on an incredibly busy night that Easter Saturday like absolute champions. Foods and drinks are well-presented and served fresh in a timely manner respectively. We also celebrated a 50th birthday, and cakes "management" was made so easy from start to finish at the tavern. Our kids entertained themselves in the pools, play room, driving range and when necessary, with the huge TV in the rooms! The convenience of the little shopping village within walking distance allowed us to enjoy really delicious and authentic Indian foods too. Most in our group are well-travelled as well as acquainted with luxurious stays. Tell you what, enjoyment of this short stay will be a core memory for us all, adults and kids alike.

If you’re a family on a budget this place is brilliant!! Sure the place is a bit run down, but for a very modest amount you get a resort holiday with buffet breakfast. The kids adored it and I was the most relaxed I’ve been all summer. Special thanks to Tania and her family in the restaurant for giving such great local advice on swimming holes and wineries.

The place is so run down. The staff wouldn't have a clue what is going on around the place. The place is so run down. The rooms are full of cockroaches the ceilings are falling down. Just patches on top of patches. The outside toilets are so run down. You wouldn't let your dog piss in them. There is nothing to do that they put on the brochures. If you ask the staff about stuff on the brochure. They say that they know nothing about it. The animal farm is so neglected. The animals are so poorly looked after. If a cyclone went through the place it would improve it. I will definitely not be going back and would not recommend it to anyone. Such false advertising.

We recently stayed 2 nights as we had a Wedding nearby. Property was clean and tidy but is very outdated and needs a full refurbishment. The Buffet Dinner wasn’t good. The Buffet Breakfast was better but was just average. I didn’t play Golf but my friends did and they said it was expensive. Just thought for what we paid it was overpriced. It’s a shame as it could be so much better.

Arrived at 8pm on a Friday night, by 8.20 the only food available was a packet of potato chips from the pub, or a 20min trip to Beaudesert. Fortunately the staff were kind & cooked us a bowl of hot chips, despite the kitchen being closed. Much appreciated, as we’d driven 6 hrs to get there. There was no heating in our bedroom & 3deg temp, & our door was unable to be locked with or without the key. Black hairs on the bathroom wall, dust & cobwebs everywhere, nowhere to sit with a meal, though there was ample room for a small table & chairs, terrible smell from the bathroom drain, doors partly hanging off, over bath shower is unsafe, due to the height to get into it
