The location is good if travelling being on the highway and quiet. The bed was relatively comfortable. Some attention required to pest control due to us finding a cockroach in our room, big enough to ride which didn’t make us feel like we could use the plates, bowls etc.

We enjoyed the space of the rooms. A bit dated and in need of some TLC but overall met the needs of our family with kids so we could explore the Newcastle and Hunter Valley region. Staff were nice and restaurant was pretty cool being inside a glasshouse basically with trees inside and a few toys in the corner for our littlest one. Thank you 😊 yummy pizza!
