The room was dated, but clean and tidy and well appointed. However, there was no milk supplied, and no soap in the bathroom soap dispenser. The shower pressure was not very good either. Parking is a little difficult to navigate in the end rooms. The room had a really nice view though and the area seemed safe and was close to town.

Clean fully equipped room let down by noise

Stayed here for 1 night recently and it was lucky I was only staying for a night. Good points: Spacious, clean and fully equipped room. Has air conditioning. Bad points: Dated room, noisy room with poor sound insulation - can hear vehicles passing by. Also I was woken up by some banging sounds at 7 am.

Location was handy to the concert we attended. Upon check in, we did not receive a complimentary milk (as they didn't have any avaliable on site!) Room and furnishings were VERY dated. Kitchen tap wouldn't stop leaking, the cupboard under kitchen sink wouldn't close. The curtains had holes in them, and the clothes draw also wouldn't shut. Bathroom was tiny! Pool was nice, but the spa didn't work (no bubbles just warm water) Owner is a lovely lady!

Was a nice place but to get to our parking space was a nightmare in our ute. Very tight space to navigate around. The unit was clean but the floors in the kitchen area were very sticky. Did not make our stay unpleasant just could cleam the floors a bit better. Not sure what they could do about the parking spaces however. Would be ok in a small car.

A solid option if you need a bit more space, but are on a budget. The owner is gradually renovating the units, which are in need of new carpet and paint etc. Having a seperate cookable kitchen and dining table is great. Comfortable beds. Crisp, clean linen and towels. Nice and clean on arrival, but no servicing done on day 1. Unsure if this is usual Outdoor swimming pool and spa to good standard. Easy access to main roads for City, Mount and Bethlehem. Thanks for a great, affordable stay
