A little dated, could do with a more comfortable lounge but apart from that it’s the perfect place to holiday as a young family. ##### JayneG Archival ### 4/10 Poor #### Anonymous 25 Apr 2016 #### Not good enough Dishes were not clean and carpet was dirty too........ ##### Anonymous Archival ### 8/10 Good #### SunnyPat 15 Mar 2016 #### cool relaxing balcony in shade after 10.30am This is a quality unit with rainbow lorikeets, kookaburras near balcony. Lovely quiet spot, sound of small waves most relaxing. Stayed in block several times over the years and notice the view of water and distant peaks is shrinking with trees taking over. Parking is difficult in small turning/entry to space. ##### SunnyPat ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [The Tamworth Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tamworth-Hotels-The-Tamworth-Hotel.h18684340.Hotel-Information) > - [Broughton Cottage - Pudding Hill Farm, Berry](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Foxground-Hotels-Broughton-Cottage-Pudding-Hill-Farm.h23586192.Hotel-Information) > - [Red Box Cottage - Tuross Head](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tuross-Head-Hotels-Red-Box-Cottage-Tuross-Head.h30666798.Hotel-Information) > - [The Isla & Casita Motel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Batehaven-Hotels-The-Isla.h78230201.Hotel-Information) > - [Harrigan's Hunter Valley](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pokolbin-Hotels-Harrigans-Irish-Pub-Accommodation.h1662165.Hotel-Information) > - [Mercure Hunter Valley Gardens](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pokolbin-Hotels-Mercure-Resort-Hunter-Valley-Gardens.h1877968.Hotel-Information) > - [Ozzie Pozzie Backpackers](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Port-Macquarie-Hotels-Ozzie-Pozzie-Backpackers-YHA.h25994908.Hotel-Information) > - [The Sanctuary at Paradise Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jervis-Bay-Hotels-The-Sanctuary-At-Paradise-Beach.h20069732.Hotel-Information) > - [Snowy Wilderness](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ingebirah-Hotels-Snowy-Wilderness.h4316653.Hotel-Information) > - [The Robertson Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Robertson-Hotels-The-Robertson-Hotel.h4580959.Hotel-Information) > - [NRMA Blue Dolphin Yamba Holiday Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Yamba-Hotels-Blue-Dolphin-Holiday-Resort.h3103292.Hotel-Information) > - [Arajilla Retreat](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lord-Howe-Island-Hotels-Arajilla-Retreat.h1052267.Hotel-Information) > - [Seahorse Inn Hotel & Villas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Boydtown-Hotels-Seahorse-Inn.h3910114.Hotel-Information) > - [Oaks Lake Crackenback Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Crackenback-Hotels-Lake-Crackenback-Resort-Spa.h11290088.Hotel-Information) > - [Bay Breeze Boutique Accommodation](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Batemans-Bay-Hotels-Bay-Breeze-Boutique-Accommodation.h9307003.Hotel-Information) > - [Desert Gardens Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Yulara-Hotels-Desert-Gardens.h67183126.Hotel-Information) > - [Albury Manor House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Albury-Hotels-Albury-Manor-House.h445455.Hotel-Information) > - [Heron Island Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Heron-Island-Hotels-Heron-Island-Resort.h1636471.Hotel-Information) > - [The Lord Byron](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Byron-Bay-Hotels-The-Lord-Byron.h2646995.Hotel-Information) > - [Mantra Twin Towns](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tweed-Heads-Hotels-Mantra-Twin-Towns.h1862508.Hotel-Information) > - [Holiday Haven White Sands](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jervis-Bay-Hotels-Holiday-Haven-White-Sands.h27097344.Hotel-Information) > - [Crystalbrook Byron](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Byron-Bay-Hotels-Crystalbrook-Byron.h2650066.Hotel-Information) > - [Idyllic Farm Cottage with Outdoor Bath Under the Stars](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manildra-Hotels-Idyllic-Farm-Cottage-With-Outdoor-Bath-Under-The-Stars.h28102767.Hotel-Information) > - [Burke and Wills Motor Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Moree-Hotels-Burke-And-Wills-Motor-Inn.h978570.Hotel-Information) > - [The Copa Cabana at Copacabana](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Copacabana-Hotels-The-Copa-Cabana-At-Copacabana.h33554165.Hotel-Information) > - [RAC Monkey Mia Dolphin Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Monkey-Mia-Hotels-RAC-Monkey-Mia-Dolphin-Resort.h2650828.Hotel-Information) > - [Tasman Holiday Parks - Merool on the Murray](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Moama-Hotels-Merool-Holiday-Park.h9629141.Hotel-Information) > - [Samurai Beach Bungalows](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Anna-Bay-Hotels-Samurai-Beach-Bungalows-Port-Stephens-YHA.h12456606.Hotel-Information) ---
