This is the most dirty and run down place I’ve ever been to. They should not legally be allowed to call this a resort! We arrived to a locked up reception area at 4pm, when we called they said they left us the key on the cabin door and sent us on a little goose chase with their terrible directions to the cabin. The cabin itself was shocking, the couches were filthy, most surfaces stained, and spiders everywhere. The bathroom window is low and completely see through so anyone over 150cm can’t have privacy in the shower. The shower floor was taped-down Lino. The second “double bed” was actually a pull out couch in the living room which we had to make up ourselves. 5 minutes into sleeping there my daughter was itching all over (bed bugs!) The whole space is one big room with half walls put up to make “bedrooms.” This means that any lights turned on/ conversation in one room can be seen/ heard in every other room. Too many safety issues to note here. There is no restaurant / bar or amenities of any sort that would make this place a “resort.” The only positive... we only had to stay one night. It was so dirty we decided to forego breakfast there in the morning and went out for brekkie instead. On checking out there was no one in reception again.

The property would have been more aptly called Vineyard Hill Cabins. We were greeted by Kangaroos upon arrival. The outlook was lovely with Country Vista. The accommodation was very basic and in need of refurbishments. The bed was clean and comfortable. The shower floor was lino lined which curled at the edges with a strip of wallpaper like tile feature which was peeling off the shower wall. The room needed a good clean of dust and cobwebs (Spiders). The sliding door leading to the balcony was rusted and difficult to open/close. It was ok for an overnight stay.

There was a dead fly over the bed's frame. Looks a bit abandoned and old. The location is good. Very quiet and peaceful

The place was very run down and dangerous in some areas due to this. In desperate need of maintenance and care. Room had stuff in it from the previous people. The lady that works there is lovely.

Photos are deceiving. 2 bedroom apartment was actually one large room with dividers. Bathroom window was clear so Little privacy. Not enough blankets and enough cutlery for 2. BBQ on the patio didn’t have a gas bottle and one fry pan to try and cook meals for 6 people . Bed had hair within the sheets and not just one strand ,under the sofa bed had not been cleaned in a while so once set up there was a large area of dust, dirt and other collected crap on the floor. Hot tub was covered up , pool was fairly dirty . Neither looked like they had been used recently. No room keeping. Expected to come back to the bin empty and clean towels (as with every other place we have stayed ) but the room was untouched. Fridge must of been turned on just before we arrived so there was no cold milk or drinks for the morning as it took all night to cool . To top it off no wifi so copped it off my teenage son for 3 days. The lady that took my payment and gave me the keys was nice and the kids loved the kangaroos outside . They are the only positives I have .we didn’t see another person in sight the entire stay I couldn’t wait for our 3 days to be up I felt like I was staying at camp crystal lake . Apologies to the owners for this review but it’s honest I was not happy at all
