Oaks Cypress Lakes Resort
The facilities were rundown and poorly maintained. One pool was filthy with dirt and animal droppings. Rooms need a good deep clean as mold on curtains in rooms and bathroom.

Hunter Gateway Motel
I stayed here because I had a wedding at the Hunter. They were kind enough to allow me to check in an hour early. The room was clean and comfortable. The staff courteous and helpful.

Estate Tuscany
Room was clean and tidy, TV was a big disappointment, could not watch the winter olympics. Only 3 channels available were ABC, SBS & Ch9. remote control did not have an on/off button..... perhaps an upgrade to a smart TV would be the way to go
