We were given room 100 2 bedroom suite it had huge bedrooms with the main bedroom having a very comfortable supper king size bed. The down side of this suite is that the kitchen/dining/lounge is tiny and I mean tiny. Not really enough room for 2 adults and 2 kids. We asked to be moved to another 2 bedroom suite. Room 115 is much bigger and would be happy to have this suite again.

Excellent accommodation for the (Wotif) price: very spacious room, nice decor, large bathroom. Breakfast included from good buffet selection, with cooked breakfast optional extra ($15). Dry friendly staff. We weren’t expecting the moon for the price and were very pleasantly surprised.

Had a lovely staff member greet us and check in was quick & easy. Grateful when staff accommodated us with a ground floor room at short notice. The rooms were lovely, tidy, spacious and comfortable. We had everything we required for our stay. Very close to restaurant next door. It would be great if we had the option to check in a little earlier and check out a little later but otherwise satisfied with our stay. Will come back again. Thank you!
