Merin Merin and Middle Swamp Wildlife Reserve

Well located. Good sized rooms. Easy access to Public Transport and close to shops and restaurants. Food and drinks on site were good and well presented but not cheap. Additionally whilst Gluten Free was catered for at Breakfast there was a mix of products at the station many of which contained Gluten. Additionally although there was a Toaster for Gluten Free Bread this was used as much by guests with regular bread. Additionally products containing gluten were immediately adjacent to this. High risk of cross contamination. Additionally on some days there were very few staff to assist guests in the breakfast area particularly as the Coffee Machine was broken. It took over an hour to get a flat white some mornings with one day in particular where it was clear that despite breakfast starting at 6.30 there was very few staff until 8am (think there was basically one chef and possibly 1 waitress who was doing room service, getting room numbers, and so forth. A number og people walked out as a result. It was a Public Holiday (so no doubt penalty rates) but the hotel was very busy as well (given 30+ rooms were occuppied by our group). Overall though not a bad stay
