Reviewer Type: Solo Traveller

Travel Purpose: leisure

Positive: It's was close to everything we needed. Pak n save, fresh choice, woolies, kmart, the warehouse, bunnings and even mitre 10. Gas station was near by and so were restaurants and fast food restaurants too. My family especially my kids enjoyed the hot tub just outside our bedroom and the privacy was just wonderful. The hot tub is in the view of you and your family. The family room with 2 single beds and 1 double bed with a hot tub, the bedroom is sound proof. The receptionist speaks English and pretty cool but the cleaner doesn't speak nor understands English.

Negative: The 🪳 cockroaches under the sink in the cupboards and in the toilet area. There is no ventilation in the bathroom when you take a hot shower or if your cooking your food the ventilation is stuck in the kitchen and no where to escape. The whole room needs a upgrade , the hot tub needs flooring that isn't slippery. At least put in screen doors and screens on windows so we can have the doors and windows open without having to close them. Upgrade on trash bins, 🗑 need one in the bathroom as it should be separate to the kitchen trash bin. There are little holes in the walls, electricity for kitchen needs an upgrade as you need to switch off the stove for you to use the microwave. There are plugs in weird spots of the room. Mattresses needs a good clean and so do the duvet covers. The television 📺 needs to go up on the wall so that there are more floor space. The carpet is different colour's and there are stains on the floor. If there were ventilation in the kitchen for your cooking the smoke alarms would still be up on the walls but we saw our kitchen alarm sitting in the bedside draw. There was a Crack in our bathroom mirror. Toilet seat needs a new toilet or seat. Bathroom sink needs an upgrade with a soap dispenser that's not in the shower, grime on bathroom/kitchen/hot tub taps needs to be removed, out with the silver shower box and bring in the new showers. Need air conditioning instead of stand fans, change the wall heaters, they are dangerous 😳

Summary: Passable not disappointing but pleasant.
