Overall nice stay, enjoyed the waterpark and appreciated the kids rides. Found the room very comfortable and clean. The downstairs restaurant and the facilities were not cleaned well. The restaurants offered limited dining options and were well overpriced for what they served. The layout of the hotel meant that guests had to walk through public spaces to get to their rooms after swimming. There were no showers at the waterpark and the toilets were disgusting, making it inconvenient to enjoy the water area.

I believe they really have to think about bedding condition and the smell of rooms. As soon as we got in the room(219), the room was terribly smelly like mold smell and stink like feet. Even my 3 yo complained about the smell and when I checked everywhere it was from the pillows. Not just one, all the 8 pillows. And even from the mattress..I felt like there was someone who didn’t never showered for few months and lying down right next to me. Stink stink stink.. I couldn’t sleep properly.. I had to cover all the mattress and the pillows with towels so I can put down my head there. So when I asked to change the pillows, the staff changed the room and after we moved to 220, sadly it was the same so we gave up on it. I know this is not 5 star hotel but even the bed and pillow at camping cabins I visited last week wasn’t smell like that. You really need to change the pillow not just the cover washed and please..please take care of the bedding properly. My little one really loved the water park so we really want to visit again, but I can’t stand the smell anymore so I can’t come again. That is shame.. staff were noce though

Overall this is a good hotel and I would stay here again, in hopes that I was just unlucky. They have amazing facilities for kids and familys with so much to keep your little ones occupied. Its a shame that the pool doesnt have any shaded area at all. As it is so large and by having just a bit of shaded area woould have made a world fo difference. The rooms were spacious and the buffet breakfast was enjoyed by all. The coffee was made to order from a proper commercial coffee machine but the staff need some barrista training. The juice station is a huge hit! Unfortuantly our room was not as clean as id hope with all the plates and cutlery and mugs needing a good wash before use.

The water park was great for the kids. However our room was quite far away however and not convenient with young children. The rooms are fine but very dated and the TV very slow and clunky. Late night dining options very standard and no alcohol advertised on menu. On enquiry quoted $60-$70 for a bottle of wine which was very steep (and not ordered).

We requested an earlier check-in time and staff said they would text when the room was ready. No text came through so we rang them and they said the room had been ready for quite sometime. This put us out for the job we were at the hunter valley for. Poor communication and reception did not answer the phone after calling 8 times. Dissatisfied!

We could not stay 2 nights due to extremely old uncomfortable mattress and pillows. My partner has bad injuries and I booked Rydges as they are renowned for their comfortable beds. Bedding not upgraded to Dreambeds Rydges would not give any refund or credit for not staying 2nd night because of this. Not happy!
