Sunshine Gardens Bourke Resort

2.5 star property
7.0 out of 10, Good, (145)
"Very expensive for this property. Many maintenance problems eg broken front door closer, missing door furniture to bathroom, dirty grouting, no doona cover, curtain falling down, tiny toilet paper roll with no spare etc In contrast the idea of separate cabins in a compound is great but to call it a Resort was laughable. Could be really good with a realistic price, some maintenance and some attention to detail. "
