The Gibraltar
It is a great place to host group functions or having a group golf weekend getaway. Professional customer services. However, the place is a bit outdated and a refurbishment would bring back the glory.

Lakeside Inn Illawarra
Place was small tidy enough but aged and worn. We didn’t get the lakeside cabin I booked. But for a low budget quick option it was okay.
