Plenty of supplies, excellent location, albeit on a busy road (if you are a light sleeper this may not suit you), super friendly and helpful staff, thankyou Madi. Really nice lawn and pool area for spending some time outside and relaxing. Lovely simple and fresh continental breakfast. Highly recommend. Will be fantastic once the renovations are complete."
