Half drunk cup of coffee in the Coffee Cupboard was disappointing. Poor Housekeeping! I was told that I could park at my door. So wrong, I had to park about 30 metres away. Cupboard door had a broken hinge. The Bathroom window winder would not close the window. Air conditioning, Netflix & Bed were good Shower was hot. Birds, cockatoos I think, in a tree on the property were very loud for most of my stay.

This property is very run down and in need of refurbishment. The meal we had at the restaurant wasn’t the best. The chips tasted like they had been reheated and the frozen vegetables were only luke warm. We received a free drink and 15% off the meal.
