Outstanding location, service and staff. However the property is very “aged” and definitely needs a major upgrade

Hi Trish, Thank you for your review and I'm sorry that your experience with us was not what you expected. Our lakeside rooms at the front of the hotel have communal chairs and tables for guests to enjoy. We do not have dedicated chairs and tables for each room as it becomes too cluttered and restricts the space on the courtyards to the lakeside rooms. We can however work to accommodate requests for extra chairs or tables for guests to enjoy their stay. As for the car park, we do have valet parking and self-parking options available although around New Years Eve parking become quite challenging within the town centre and I'm sorry if this was the case. I hope you managed to enjoy the other aspects of your stay and thanks once again for sharing your feedback, I hope you will give us the chance to accommodate you again in the future

Staff were great, unfortunately the room we stayed in was very dated and needed a bit of a do up. Shower over bath, paint chipped, leaking taps. Also parking was very expensive $20 per 24 hours located off site and during the Xmas period really hard to get a park, definitely adds up when your staying for a while. No free parking options available, room was expensive compared to other accommodation in Qtown

Suited our needs. Very handy to town. Loved the free upgrade to a mountain view (but guessing this was because there was road works outside the hotel on the lake view end at the time of our stay). Staff very accomodating and the spa was just what the doctor needed. The guess laundry was just perfect for when I required it.
