Old large room, clean, tidy and with all the features you’d expect. Added bonus of on-site Asian restaurant with lovely meals.

The shower over the bath was difficult. The bath was dangerous with a large crack in the base and unstable floor. Shower curtain dirty. A grubby crack across the sink. Lighting in the bathroom inadequte. Rubish left by previous guest. Staff friendly and linen clean. Doesn't warrant more than 2 stars at most.

I enjoyed my stay
I enjoyed my stay in the standard queen room and will stay again. It was quiet. Appeared really clean and only spotted a couple of minor cobwebs. Bathroom very clean but no bath plug. Bed was super comfy and linen fresh and clean.

Rooms need revamped. Bath had a very large crack in it and felt unstable when having a shower. Bath too high and didn’t cater for invalid. Made it hard to get in and out of the shower with a disability

Offered ground floor rooms but then when realised we paid a discount gave us top room, completely out dated. Bed as hard as concrete, pillows the same. Very dark room bathroom outdated with shower over bath, no slip mat, slipped when exiting the bath. We were four guests and only had three shampoo/conditioners. Nobody at service desk morning or night. There was a side door which gave access 24/7 not secure anyone could come into the lodge upstairs rooms, even when nobody was at the desk. Check in, lady was on her mobile phone to someone the whole time I was checking in and I felt rushed to check in. Room was clean and cleaners were so lovely and welcoming (unlike service desk). Fairly good position was probably a 5 minute walk to town but very bloat woke all night to trucks an d loud cars motorbikes etc . It has potential to be a really nice place, until then won’t be returning.

We originally booked for just myself and my husband then we rang and asked could we have a room as our two granddaughters would also be with us as we were going to Sovereign Hill, Winter Wonderland. We also rang the next day to confirm that our two granddaughters would be coming with us we were told an extra $24. When we arrived we were advised by Jing that our room was a queen and 1 single we said that wasn’t good enough and she then found us a room with a queen and two singles, then told us an extra $54 to pay we said that she’d advised us previously that it was $24. We went to our room,No. 16, only to discover that there was a very wet, in fact soaking, carpet outside the bathroom door to in front of one of the single beds, so a fairly biggish area. Back to reception we go and Jing then gave us room, no. 12, which had two queen beds. After further discussion Jing said she would pay the extra $30 only for me to discover that $54 had been charged to my bank account, back to reception where we were given a $30 credit. We did try to book elsewhere but as it was mid-afternoon places we checked had no vacancies Surely the cleaners at the time of cleaning room 16 would have noticed the very wet carpet as we had done on entry into the room!
