"Rooms were tidy, staff were helpful and made our stay enjoyable. Pet friendly rooms. Air conditioning. Easy to get to Newcastle and close to shopping center. Spa bath was broken and staff moved us into another spa room. Renovations and construction at the premises while we were there, noise and sight did not affect our stay. Parking can be an issue."

"The bush room was very comfortable and I'm sorry we weren't able to see it in the daylight as I think the views from the little outside balcony would have been brilliant. (arrived late and off before dawn for the Anzac service). A little care to be taken going down the steps to use the bathroom in the main house, (as I said it was dark) but otherwise all good and suited our needs. Thankyou to Grant for picking us up at the station as the train was very delayed."
