Weekend Family Stay
The stay was lovely, the room was very clean (there was a slight bleach smell that lingered) The pool was popular with the kids, and was beautifully maintained. The communication with the staff was excellent, from us arriving late due to traffic and the easy directions on checking out. There was an odd (sewerage like smell) around the entrance of our room to the carpark. The amenities for the kitchenette were great, if possible it could be a good idea to add a serrated knife to the cutlery (hard to cut bread rolls with a butter knife) The shower was divine! Great water pressure and easy to use. Thank you for a lovely visit!!

Little gem
Rooms have been upgraded with new bathrooms and furnishings making them feel modern and fresh. When visiting family we stay in the balcony rooms which have a nice view of the lake. Quiet location yet walking distance to shops and restaurants. Staff have always been friendly and helpful
