Very disappointed with the pool, we have been coming for years and have never experienced pool chair towel turf wars. Pool towels use a card system which makes it a commodity. We had people steal our towels whilst we were swimming. Also the maths of towels on pool chairs did not add up to the bodies in the pool area.

Wouldn’t recommend anyone to stay here. Very outdated rooms and environment. Previously was the Crown and Rydges has taken over . They haven’t made any changes to the rooms. Staffs and facilities are extremely poor. I booked to celebrate my birthday and end of sickness treatment and the check in staff was least bothered about it. Nothing extra or special was offered to me. No welcome drinks considering I’m a club member. No complimentary water bottles, compared to other resorts who provides this complimentary offer. Other guests were also complaining to us about this resort. Don’t waste your money for this old, unprofessional staffs resort.

Massive property with an amazing water park and pool for the kids. We had a 2 bedroom and it was huge but when we arrived it was not very clean. E cleaned it ourselves and reported to management who were very nice about it. Rooms are old and tired and the carpet needs replacing badly but it’s a beautiful property with so much to do in a beautiful location. Breakfast is great.

The hotel is in a lovely setting with a variety of facilities. The buffet breakfast is recommended. Since our stay was during the school holidays, be mindful that there would be lots of young children and noises. Both pools are not heated pool. One thing disappointed us was that we found an odour during bedtime, then we discovered the smell was from the 2 pillows on our bed. It was too late at night to report or make a request to change rooms. We had to take the pillows out and clean the bed frame ourselves to be able to get our sleep.

Great staff and service. Excellent breakfast and good family pool and excellent adult pool. But the burger at the Grill Bar was disgraceful. Very thin burnt patty. More tree cover to beautify and soften the building lines would be lovely.
