We recently stayed 4 nights, when the whole town was booked out for an event. The managers even allowed us to add an extra person for one night, and were kind enough not to charge any more for their bed and linen which I really appreciated.
We have stayed there on another occasion too, a year ago and were just as satisfied. BBQ and Pool areas are a plus and are well maintained. Its not 5 star but was perfectly adequate for our needs clean and well maintained.

The television programs were great for my grand daughter and the beds very comfortable. Would recommend this hotel to everyone l know. Great location, nice and quiet, can walk to town , only 5 minutes and very, very clean.

Amazing location, relaxing and quiet. Perfect for for your weekend get away, close enough to town to hire a bore and explore!
Only thing is because you are in such close quarters to other cabins/rooms if someone around you is smoking you can't enjoy your outdoor area or open the balcony doors without feeling like you are smoking with them.

We were impressed with the layout of the property/apartments and with the fact that even though it was booked out, it was still very quiet.
Staff were friendly and quick to respond to requests or enquiries. Access to the apartments and underground parking was very easy by using any of 4 lifts.

A welcome lack of signs telling you what to do and staff very low key so we felt free to just relax and enjoy ourselves. Cabin was very clean and everything worked. Very close to town, the river and the surf beach and very close to the excellent cafe and restaurant at the surf club.

Beautiful old heritage-style building with fireplace, vertical join timber wall panelling, high ceilings and in some areas; crown moulding. Architechturally speaking, an absolute treasure, the hotel backs onto a river. Only thing they loose marks for is that all bedrooms have only shared bathroom facilities & the onsite restaurant doesn't serve dinner on Sunday or Monday night. Room 1 is directly above a compressor unit which goes off randomly throughout the night.
