I have booked this property for three weeks and I was given a studio with two rooms which is excellent but with no facilities. No table or bench top with chairs, no kitchen, TV not working.
Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2024
Response from David on 19 Feb 2024
Hi Jerry, thanks for the feedback. I believe the TV was swapped over for you this morning. Regarding the facilities, our 2 bedroom studios are as advertised - 2 bedrooms, a bathroom and a small lounge area with tea/coffee making facilities and a small fridge. The studios are more 'budget style' accommodation. We also have the full size Central apartments directly opposite the hotel and these feature full kitchens and lounge room, 1 or 2 bedrooms, laundry facilities etc. Please let us know should you have any questions. Thanks, David

It is in the heart of Mawson Lakes. Similar to the Bella Vista in Sydney with the lake in the mid of the suburb. The unit is spacious. Woolworth is just next to the building, very convenient.

Second time staying at the property and generally cannot fault. We stayed in the apartments across the road as it suited our needs as a family of 4. If you are planning on staying here, just keep in mind, the apartments can be quite noisy - the first night I thought someone was letting themselves into our room. Hotel can't do anything about it, nor would I expect them to, but just something to keep in mind. The only other thing is that the carpets could probably use a good clean, but as its high traffic, I appreciate the difficulties around that. Otherwise, we will be back.

Hi Jessica, thanks for your feedback on your recent stay with us. Great to read the apartment suited your needs as a family, they are a good size apartment. We do have a duty manager on 24/7, so if guests ever have an issue with noise, we encourage them to let us know so we can investigate the issue, and put a stop to any noise that is disruptive to our guests. The carpets are cleaned regularly, but sometimes if a stain has been sitting a few days before we are made aware, they can be stubborn to get out. Look forward to welcoming you and your family back to the hotel in the near future. With kind regards, David

Hi Warwick, thanks for your feedback on your stay. You booked 1 of our 2 bedroom studios which is our more 'budget friendly' option to accommodate up to 4 guests. Pleased you found it clean and it was serviced daily for you. If you need larger accommodation next time, try one of the Central apartments which are directly opposite the hotel. Thanks

Two bedroom studio was clean and bed very comfortable. The bathroom had a washing machine and dryer which was very handy. The lounge chair was cracked and needs replacement. Parking was very full every day and difficult to find a park however did like that the parking was inside a gate.

Hi Bruce, thanks for your review of your stay. Our studios are a fairly basic type of room although the laundry facilities in the bathrooms guests do appreciate. I know we are waiting on a delivery of a few couches which are replacing the few that need attention. Thanks again, and hope to see you again soon.

Hi Hardeep, thanks for the feedback on your stay. I can see you stayed in one of our 2 bedroom studios - these are more the 'budget friendly' option of accommodation at the hotel. They are advertised as stair access only and 150 metres up from the main hotel, but it would have been difficult with bags and kids! We also have larger apartments with lift access directly opposite the hotel. Maybe look at one of these on your next visit. Thanks

I like how close everything is and free parking. Cleanliness wasn’t the greatest this time I made complaint to hotel. Cleaners really need to check everything as after complaint I then found oven tray full of dirty oil when I went to use it. Every time prior I have enjoyed my stay hoping cleaning is up to scratch when I stay again.

I love staying here it’s spacious and close to everything. I have a few bookings here over the remainder of the year. A few improvements needed restocking of toilet paper, coffee station and towels daily as with 4 in an apartment not enough. Also 2 pillows per person would be great 1 worn out pillow each resulted in horrible sleep.

The hotel was flawless. I loved my room and balcony. The birdsong in the morning was magical. The staff were warm and helpful. I’m not sure how feasible this would be, but access to an area where plates, cutlery etc. could be washed rather than in the bathroom would be so convenient. But this really is a small point. Would recommend. Also as a single, female traveller I felt safe in and around the hotel. Many thanks.

Hi Christine, thankyou for your detailed feedback regarding your recent stay with us. Great to hear it went well, and you felt safe, and found the staff warm and helpful. We do have a few deluxe rooms in the main building that do have kitchenettes in them, so if you find yourself back in the area, please request this at time of booking and we will try to allocate one of these to you. And agreed regarding the birds, lots of trees and nature in the area keep them happy! Thanks again, David

Pleasant stay.
I was pleasantly surprised by this property. The rooms were very spacious, clean and well appointed. We had a kitchenette with stove stop and microwave as well as a washing machine and dryer in the bathroom. The bed was comfy and good linen in the room. We also made use of the on-site restaurant and bar. A couple of times service was slow but they let us know they were short staffed. Food was good with a good menu. It’s popular with locals as well so check if you need to book. My only disappointment was that there’s not really anywhere else to eat out around the hotel - there’s quick fast food but nothing else. There was nothing wrong with the restaurant at the hotel but we were staying a few days and looked for a change one night. There’s also a supermarket across the road which was handy.
