The service was really good and the cleanliness was incredible, not a spec of dust or sand or anything anywhere. Spewin we didnt stay longer ##### Jake Stayed 1 night in Feb 2024 Verified ### 2/10 Terrible #### Gordon 15 Feb 2026 Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities We were disappointed with the accommodation. Shards of glass were left on the floor which in turn ended up in our feet. Not only dangerous but they hurt when embedded in your foot! (Yes we did advise Management at the time). Room was comfortable but very tired. It needs a makeover, especially the bathroom. Unfortunately the bed was quite hard too. Parking is not good either. We had to park across the road both nights as the parking spaces are small and limited. We don't even have a large vehicle (FYI - we drive buses so it's not our driving skills at fault here). We're sorry that this is a negative review but we needed to be honest. Our weekend stay here was not a good experience, so we won't be back. ##### Gordon Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2026 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Ruth 4 Jan 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Staff was exceptionally helpful. Parking very tight. Loved kitchenette, cream for tea, shower water pressure and excellent bath. Terrific location and sitting spot to watch lake. Thx Ruth ##### Ruth Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2024 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Tricia 21 Dec 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Clean unit, lousey parking. Nicely appointed unit. Parking was difficult, bed was hard and pillows quite flat. Cannot fault the cleanliness or space of the unit. One large SUV parked in the middle park meant the parks other side were useless on the level our unit was on even for our small car. ##### Tricia Stayed 1 night in Dec 2023 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Nicky 22 Jan 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We stayed in room #1 & it was an impressive size. Both bedrooms had more than enough space. Bathroom also pretty roomy, but definitely dated. Clean & seriously great shower water pressure, but the shower box was on its last legs. The downside was when guests moved in upstairs. Every footstep, every trip to the bathroom, every time they turned the water on, it echoed through our room. It is just one of those things when you are away from home, but maybe some additional insulation in the ceiling might help to dull the noise a little. All in all, I would stay again, the location was excellent & the stay overall was really good value. ##### Nicky Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2024 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Garry 16 Mar 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Didnt use it. ##### Garry Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2026 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Natasha 2 Jul 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Helpful staff and efficient check in.

The host was very friendly and eager to help with things to do but since we only stayed one night we didn’t have much time but did venture up to the thermal spa and had a nice relaxing time there. ##### Rano Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Philippa and Gordon 11 Jul 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities The unit was very comfortable and had everything we needed. ##### Philippa and Gordon Stayed 1 night in Jul 2023 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Himani 16 Oct 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Waterfront, nice and clean property. ##### Himani Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2022 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### A 25 Dec 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Location ##### A Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2023 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Melanie 24 Nov 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Host was very welcoming!
