Pleasant stay.
Hotel complex has many activities, many of which are free. There is a wide range of paid tours to take also. There are a couple of lookouts for sunrise and sunset worth taking. I did not use the swimming pool, but the area look nice. The front desk staff were helpful and friendly. Food at the bistro was good. There are lots of good shops for souvenirs and artwork.

Buggs
Very buggy. Got to watch the beetle and cricket races when going to the toilet in the middle of the night. We did gave a spider sentinel making sure the ants stayed in line.

2* hotel charging 5* prices a rip off.
The hotel was 2 star and charging 5am at prices.
Most expensive of 5 hotels on our trip and worst by far.
Bathroom needed complete refurbishment, toilet pan heavily stained etc.
Nothing terrible but having paid over the odds in the first place, not good enough.
Looking to rip you off at every opportunity, 600ml of still water $6.5!!!

Lovely room. No WIFI
Nice room, lovely location set in well maintained gardens. Quiet.
However, WIFI none existent. We were told system was being re-booted after the rain or something and that it would be up again the following morning. It wasn't. Nor the day after.

Super Location.
Lovely hotel. Only complaint is how much the restaurants charged for food. I understand that it would be more due to its location but these prices were ridiculous.

I really wished that they had a USB port in the room for easy charging. I also wished the entry door fit tighter or had a better seal so bugs would not get in so easily. Also the water bottles were way too expensive. It was clean and the transportation was very easy. The walk to town center was 5 minutes. For dining, Arnguli and Mangata were very good.

Rooms are spacious and clean. Multiple dining options that are within walking distance. Property is quiet, beautifully maintained. Loved the amenities and all the available activities, especially the guest laundry on-site. Would have been helpful to know that the camel rides needed to be booked in advance.

We stayed for two nights in July. Hotel room had two beds which was great but barely enough space for our luggage. There are no ramps or lifts to get you to the top floor. With small kids this meant 4 trips with bags up and down. We had the buffet breakfast which was fairly expensive at $45pp. The area is very walkable and they had a lot of free options like garden walks and local tools talks. We also sat in on a didgeridoo lesson. Overall it was good.
