I don’t like giving bad reviews but we stayed in a family room for 1 night. Unfortunately, our sheets had not been changed. When putting the kids to bed, we pulled back the sheets to discover hairs throughout the bedding. We checked the other bed and it too had hairs. We told management and they did come and change the sheets but it didn’t leave a very nice feeling knowing our beds weren’t clean.

I appreciate your feedback about the parking situation at the location. It's valuable to know that it was a bit tight and challenging, particularly with the one-way drive-through. However, I'm glad to hear that aside from this inconvenience, you had a good experience and would consider staying there again. Your input will likely be helpful for both the management and future guests. Thank you for sharing your thoughts!

Property in good location. They have smokers and smokers bins outside of rooms. Had 2 either side of room and room filled up with enough smoke that fire alarm started to chirp. Reported twice and nothing done to move. Thought this was illegal since introduced in QLD in 2002.

HI Marcus,Thank you for your review.Sorry for the inconvenience caused.I recall you emailing me at 9:43 p.m. on March 7.I checked if there is anyone smoking. I responded to your email in 10 minutes. There was only one person sitting on the bench, and he started going to his room.It is highly unlikely that one person could fill up your room with enough smoke to trigger your smoke alarm.I am sorry, but you did not mention anything about the smoke alarm in your email.Our commitment to excellent customer service means that we respond quickly and efficiently to any guest inquiries or concerns, while also complying with all applicable laws and regulations.Finally, please accept our apologies for any inconvenience caused.

Dear customer, we are really sorry for the inconvenience caused. We clean the pool every day, but because this is the outdoor pool and close to trees, there would be some leaves. Spa works, we need to switch it on manually. If you let the reception know we should have turned on. We are in the process of changing beds. Once again apologies for the inconvenience.

On site restaurant was convenient and food was very good. Staff were helpful and friendly but the swimming pool was filthy. The Spa was also filthy and unusable. Review said recently renovated but looked more like 7 or more years ago. Bed was ok but only for two or so nights. Closer attention to cleaning of the rooms would improve the rating.

Hi Mark, Sorry for the inconvenience. We inform all the customers who book upstairs rooms that the room is upstairs because most customers do not realize it is an upstairs room. We give the option to upgrade to downstairs with extra charge. You can also see the patio room option on the website. There were a couple of windy days. I agree that the pool was untidy and we apologize for the inconvenience.
