6/10 Good

We booked and paid for4 people (2 couples) but the pullout sofa had a very thin,very smelly matress. The lovely staff tried to help with a thick single mattress to put on top, but didnt really work
tanya, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Rebecca, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

TANIA, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

It was ok. You get what you paid for. A little attention to detail in the cleaning area would be good
Nel, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

We booked on the day of our stay, was 2bdrm not 3 bdrm (other bed was in lounge) TV wasn’t working, spa was out of order and had been for a few weeks (with no info on website about it) bathroom didn’t have a bath even tho showed in images- we were looking forward to a soak after a day hike. Apartment was clean however we were frustrated at not getting the facilities we saw in images.
Steph, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Great for what it is and the price. Bed was hard and on a lean. Not having a manned office on site was annoying with no eftpos machine but writing your credit card details on paper - not professional or safe.
Lynette, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Quiet and beautiful. I like the location.
BIDYUT, 25-night trip

2/10 Poor

Booked here for 1 night but could not stay as the room was filthy, used cup in the kitchen and a human tooth on the bathroom floor. They declined our request for a refund.
