Two night stay
The room was very comfy, the fire alarm did go off three times during our two night stay between 11pm and 7am. The recpetionist was very nice and was greatful we were understanding, a complimentary breakfast would have been nice for the inconvenience, but aside from that beautiful cozy room. The pools were not in use due to maintenance which was a shame, I can imagine when they are they are enjoyable.

The property is under renovation, but the room we had was newly renovated and was lovely, the only downside was there was no AC although there are fans,
The front of house staff were amazing and very helpful,
The room was serviced as requested,

We were disappointed that there was no air conditioning in the room. We had to sleep with windows open at night with a fan brought in by the front desk.The pool was out of service and the sight of it was very unpleasant.

We’re family with kids stayed there & the parking assigned too far from the room. Upstairs room was inconvenient with family with kids. The amenities were not refilled. However, the manager brought refill of shampoo, shower jell & hand wash after informing. Given only 2 towels for 4 guests. It was quite expensive compared to the cost & seems proper care wasn't taken preparing the room for check in.

The female staff members were very helpful
I think that daily servicing of rooms would be a bonus as things like toilet paper soap etc need replacing

Would NOT recommend! I made a last minute online booking about 1.5hrs before arrival, and I couldn't even stay at this property due to feeling unsafe with my family. We checked out again about an hour later. The rooms pictured are at the back of the property and are the only thing 'done up' since being emergency housing (interior only). The remainder of the property looks like its decades past needing repair/upgrade and even though it stated the pool and restaurant were under repair - there was no signs of that. I was given a park at the front of the property facing rooms with peeling painted over windows or stacks of applicances. Rusty pipes everywhere.
Before booking online, I phoned to ask if they were emergency housing to which they said no and they did not mention that they HAD been. I only found this out when they phoned me and their old name 'Four Canoes' came up.
They have refused to provide any refund to me despite not even staying there.

The Marsden provided everything we needed for our. Nice clean tidy room, good beds to come back to each evening.
And the shower was one of the best we've experienced in all our years of traveling.

The room photographs beautifully but that is where the positivity ends. The pool was green, the restaurant was gutted. It was very hot when we visited and there is no AC or fans. We stayed two nights and the cleaners never came once despite having a sign on the door asking them to do so. Despite having a room out the back we had to park to an assigned car space no where near our room. Tried to discuss concerns with manager but he was useless. Avoid at all cost as there is no value for money here.
