The property is close to public transport Which was handy and nice The only real issues was the bed bugs OMG. My poor lady was eaten alive.. She has bites all over, the manger was great in offering cream and bug sprays and he even gave us an option of some credit for the future We came from Canberra for a 5 night stay And spend one day in the doctors surgery Waiting to get advice which ruined the trip , some, really a little disappointed as we have stayed here before and the room was passable But never expected this situation. The manger tells me its been brought in by international tourists, i think it needs a full pest control treatment. So the manger was helpful

Great facilities with secure car locking gate. There’s shared washing machine and kitchen. The only downside was the customer service when checking in. Not a friendly face from the receptionist. He asked for extra info including my bank card despite I’ve paid for it all online, didn’t explain why. I had to ask and read the form he asked me to sign to find out why (smoking policy related). Would I recommend it? Yes and no.

The condition of the room is old. Only two yellow lights in the whole room. The bath and balcony doors are hard to close. Water dripping from fire sprinkler into carpet. Sticky hair dryer because its old. The bath or jacuzzi is old and look bad. The tv controller works intermittently

This stay was disappointing…
This visit unfortunately was below par compared to previous stays. Initially given an inadequate and not-as-advertised room. In new (appropriate) room, air con was on a timer (which i hadn’t set) and came on during the night, making a cool night even colder. Bed was comfortable, and little outside noise.
