Take the Budget option except in Summer!
There are basically 3 different types of accommodation. The 'budget' option (approx $99) has parking outside the door and is on ground level which will suit most people. For both the 'superior' ($120) and 'apartment' ($130) - 2 completely different buildings to the 'budget', you don't get parking outside your door, you have to park in the main pub car park area, not quite so secure or convenient... The only drawback to 'budget' is that they have old-fashioned "wall-rattler" air conditioners. Staying in winter meant it wasn't really a problem, as in the 'budget' rooms they have lovely french doors that open onto a semi-private lawn area. But the old air cons are VERY noisy. The 'superior' rooms and 'apartment' rooms have proper split-system air cons. I would probably stay in them in summer if you want a good night's sleep! (The 'superior' rooms are identical in layout to the 'budget', except for better air con).
