Romantic Holidays in Australia - New Zealand and the South Pacific

Great stay... quiet with comfortable beds. Now our go-to accom for Brisbane.

Stylish and easy and free access to the adjoining Lancemore mansion.

It’s a real shame. I used to love staying here when it was the Versace, but this was my first visit since the change of ownership, and unfortunately, it didn’t live up to its legacy. The rooms have noticeably deteriorated, and the hotel overall feels tired and poorly maintained, as if it’s simply being left to age without care. It now feels like a 3-star experience, but the price tag doesn’t reflect that drop in quality. The one highlight was the staff. Every team member I encountered was genuinely warm, friendly and professional. They were the saving grace of an otherwise disappointing stay.

Pros: Lovely, friendly staff, clean room with all the facilities we needed (although TV reception wasn't good). Selection of water sports was great. Loved the beach front massage. Great location, nice and close to the marina as well. All of the pools were awesome, kids loved them. Our daily ice-creams were a hit. Cons: Quality of food was average at best, and service was definitely on 'island time'. There was limited food options (catering for fussy eaters) for kids and the food & beverages were super expensive. Terrible internet connection. Overall value for money wasn't there.

Such wonderful and helpful Reception/Reservation staff! Well appointed, spacious and clean room The in-room spa bath was amazing. Felt very safe (as a solo female traveller in this instance) at the hotel. Many facilities at the hotel (ran out of time to try them all). Buffet breakfast was delicious and a highlight of my stay. Will definitely be staying here again.

Great spot. Very clean.
