Good front of office staff, great location, Caters for most needs, close to everything in town and can walk to eating places. It is not the Hilton, but hey, this place is pretty good for a remote location in the middle of no where. I have stayed here before and this would be my first choice next time too.

It was clean neat tidy BUT needed updating. Stained pine walls and ceiling, plus the fluro needed changing and the bed lamps didn’t work at all made for a very dark interior

Gail

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
We stayed here 2 nights. Rooms very tired, in need of renovation on all levels. Bed was comfortable. All rooms had glass doors as entrance doors which ment you had to have the curtains across the doorway for any privacy. Showers were all small and open to the bathroom so water flooded the floor. We had an unfortunate event while here. They need more security on the site, plus a contact for emergencies. No one contactable out of hours. All entrance doors need to be changed to solid doors. Would not stay again.

You can't expect 5-star luxury in the middle of the opal fields, but it was very comfortable especially for just an overnight stay. We ate at the attached bistro where the young staff appeared to be very overworked.
