Stayed on a family holiday, 2 adults 2 children. Room was a great size, clean and comfortable. We don’t normally dine in hotel restaurants as they are normally expensive and menus aren’t suitable for kids but the restaurant had something for everyone, the food was great and was very reasonably priced. The kids swam in the pool and had a great time. Would definitely recommend it was our second time staying was also close to the CBD and supermarket.

The only issue with this property was the internet in certain rooms. Our first room no.67 did it have any internet connection, so we were moved to no. 8 near the reception and it was fine. Both rooms were very nice, they just need to make sure internet is in all the rooms. However we would stay here again
