the Manager is delightful and so very helpful. Parking is a challenge and, as a mobility sticker holder, i do wish people who don't have mobility stickers and don't need mobility carparks wouldn't park there. I'd happily give them my disability ...... but it might not suit their 'lifestyles'.

Awesome!

We had such a great stay! Dean and Tomoko arranged for us to have an easy out-of-hours check-in which was super helpful and stress-free. Prompt responses via email to organise as well. The room was very clean and comfortable, with all the amenities we needed. Dean was friendly and greeted us in the morning. Great location and close to everything. Parking was also available. Definitely recommend! :)

Greeted by our super friendly host Tomoko. She was very helpful with maps and lots of good advice for the area. The accommodation was excellent. Great bed and pillows, super clean and everything you could possibly need eg kitchen, dining table, etc. close to cbd. One very small thing - a small amount of milk for the first night would be handy. Extra points for remembering my birthday and leaving a card and small gift. Thank you.
