Upon arrival, the reception staff was friendly and welcoming. I was asked about the reason for our visit, to which I replied, “We are on our honeymoon.” The staff member congratulated us and mentioned that something special would be sent up to our room, but unfortunately, nothing ever arrived. When we entered our room, we were taken aback by its condition. Several walls were dirty, the carpet was worn with stains throughout, and the overall décor felt extremely outdated. The bathtub was old, with noticeable stains around the plug area. Having previously stayed at the Novotel in Melbourne, which was fantastic, I had high expectations and assumed the same standards would be upheld here. Unfortunately, this was not the case. Regrettably, I cannot recommend this hotel or plan to return until significant renovations are made to improve the quality of the rooms.

Definitely just paying for the location, which is awesome. Restaurants right there, lake across the road. The hotel itself has seen better days. Shower water temperature fluctuated constantly, bed was too soft and lifts looked very run down. While the staff were friendly, we weren't given any info regarding breakfast being included or wifi details when we checked in.

Check in took a long time. Room has an empty conditioner bottle, room temp set to 15 degree, hot pools were either just part luke warm or scorching hot, our jug smelt rotten with floaties in it - was replaced fairly promptly . Ironically the "call helpdesk" button on the phone was broken so we had to call room service instead. Breakfast was good. Location is awesome.

Unfortunately our stay at the Novotel was very poor. We were so disappointed. We went for our daughters 10th birthday. The pool was closed for maintenance, the pool was the reason we picked this hotel but there was no notice of this. When we asked for an alternative solution they said nothing could be done. The YV didnt work, when we called reception they said they would fix it right away and no one came. The breakfast was very poor. Birds eating you breakfast everytime you stood up to get something else.
