8/10 Good
"Location amazing a good enough reason to book all by itself. Apartment was clean and had everything we needed for a four night stay. Everything in the room worked and it was thoughtfully designed including a small kitchen area, kitchenware, nice bathroom. For a decent price and not being a fancy hotel it was a really good place to stay and great value for money."

Checkers Resort & Conference Centre

10/10 Excellent
"The suite room was lovely, big and clean. On the second floor, steps were okay to climb with a small suitcase. Good sized wardrobe with a good amount of coat-hangers. Would have liked a couple of suitcase racks though. Bed comfy but saggy in the middle. Good size bathroom and big shower with plenty of room to move. Good water pressure. Biscuits were a nice touch to have with coffee/tea. Fridge was quiet. The 2 seater lounge was comfy too. TV reception good. The Palms cafe/restaurant/nursery right next door. Didn't use the pool or sauna nor other facilities. Didn't need to use the a/c. A light on the sign to the the hotel where the tennis courts are would be convenient as it's when the sun goes down, it's dark to navigate the entrance. It was lovely hearing birds such as kookaburras, whipbirds and what sounded like a black cockatoo. A little maintenance around the grounds like pulling out weeds in the gardens and pool area including getting leaves out of the water. Cleaningsuch as cobweb su, sns and dust. There's a cient Foodworks supermarket nearby about a 2 minute drive but some items a little pricey with a small Cafe and larger one. Nice cakes too. Shopping centre at Belrose about 10 minutes drive with supermarkets, Thai, Japanese, Indian restaurants plus other dishes available such as a chicken shop. A $2 shop, jewellery, travel agent and other shops too. Hotel not far from the Northern Beaches either."
