6/10 Okay

"Service from staff member was top notch well done Beth "

Discovery Parks - Gerroa

6/10 Okay

"We brought our own dishwashing detergent and sponge, should probably bring your own knife too. But otherwise the place was as good as you get. Very close to the beaches. It is one car per booking too, which was not clearly stated on Expedia. We made a booking for a two bedroom cabin that sleeps four people, however the booking was made for two guests as it was the default selection. We checked in without knowing extra fees will apply to extra guests. And discovery park was kind enough to send me a threatening email a day after I checked out asking for the money. If you are curious about what hotels are capable of in terms of treating their guests like criminals, I highly recommend you this place. Overall a very impressive stay. "

Golf Place Inn

2/10 Terrible

"I recently stayed here with my daughter from 15–17 May 2026 in Room 219 (Family Queen with 2 Single Beds), booked through Expedia at a total cost of $462.54. The property advertised the rooms as being recently refurbished. While the room appeared clean and tidy on arrival, there were numerous maintenance and safety issues that significantly impacted our stay. The issues included: • Bathroom sink light not working • Leaking S-bend under the sink causing water to spill onto the floor whenever the sink was used • Extremely poor shower pressure, with water running directly onto the bath taps instead of spraying properly from the showerhead • Bathroom floor becoming dangerously slippery after showering — I nearly fell stepping out of the bath even while using the floor mat provided • Toilet flush button continually sticking, causing the toilet water to keep running • Bathroom door difficult to close, with the door stop hanging off • Towel rack pulling away from the wall • Curtains could not be opened during the day because sheer curtains were missing, meaning people from the golf course could see directly into the room • Television would not work • Kettle contained mould or residue and could not be used Unfortunately, the accommodation did not provide the quality, comfort, or facilities that were advertised or reasonably expected for the price charged. After numerous emails to the golf course all they are prepared to do is offer a 15% discount on our next stay, Not recommended"
