Rooms need some work doing to them. Stairs need repairs done. Parking is a problem .. Otherwise it was a nice stay beautiful view
Lovely location right on the water. Staff were great, I had a late check in and they communicated with me for late check in options. Restaurant next door, Tinta had great breakfast.

Love the location, parking can be tricky as quite small spot.
It was a nice stay , it was reasonably close to the Fernleigh track which was nice but not so close to walking track on the lake . It was very noisy with road noise we were on the 1 st floor but I guess you can’t help that
No servicing of room during our 2 night stay. Had to go to reception on both nights to request coffee sachets. Room was clean and modern and reasonably spacious. Small kitchens was handy but did notice base of microwave was rusted - a bit of a concern
The motel was close to where i needed to be. Shower curtain had mould all on the bottom and in showered. The door to the room did not look very secure. Also i was charged double what other family members were who had a larger group. Very loud in the morning with people- kids running upstairs

Loved the view & area & that they are doing up the place, will be fantastic when completed.
Potholed carpark, front door inaccessible, air conditioning control didn't work, old fire alarms still in room, broken blind, uneven external steps on staircase. No hair dryer, no teatowel.
Overpriced based on property condition, broken table, broken toilet seat, lumpy bed, paint peeling on walls, entry door is frayed, cold air under door, mould on bathroom door, nowhere to place items in shower. Property is very tired and rundown.
