overall the place is lovely - very light and airy and clean. the one thing that let us down was the scum around the taps in bathroom sink and the scum around the sink - the rest was clean however didn't finish the job. As a result I ended up cleaning it myself with tissue and a spoon the clean the edges. Was so simple to clean and if I had cleaning fluid would have taken seconds - lazy cleaning. Didn't end up staying the night and left early

Hotel a little tired, moldy curtain in the room, no fly screen on the sliding door to the balcony. Old musty smell in the room. However, the stay was pleasant enough the spa bath was ok, worked and was clean.

The premises looked okay from outside though the lawns were infested with weeds, The room at first sight seemed okay but on further use I found the bathroom to be very much in need of maintenance No microwave supplied and no wine or spirit glasses provided also.

We received an upgrade to a top floor balcony room. The room was very spacious.

Despite an obvious effort to re-tile or at least grout the bathroom, the craftsmanship was extremely poor. The shower screen needs replacing along with the tap and shower head where water came out in odd directions. The curtains were threadbare and had rips in them. However the kids enjoyed the pool table and table tennis in the games room.

As soon as we walked into the room we were greeted with a terrible smell that seemed to be stuck to the rooms inner soul.
When we turned on the bathroom light / fan , the fan was rattling so loud it would keep a hibernating brown bear awake all winter.
Additonaly, there was a huge wet patch on the floor whcih made us keep out shoes on the whole time.
May have only been this room but will definitely never stay there again for the price we paid.

The main areas of the property were clean and tidy. The rooms were a bit dated and showing their age. Bathroom was decent but a bit tired. The place was quiet and bed was comfortable enough but pillows may as well have been a rolled up t-shirt. There were no extra pillows or blankets in the room and no one on reception when we got in to get some more. Not a bad place for a night if you just want somewhere to sleep but maybe byo pillow.

Property was tired needs an update .Fridge was leaking there was a fan in front of it to dry out the moisture. Room should have been offline for the night. I have worked in the motel industry for 35 years yes it was a few years ago but I feel I can express an opinion.
6.0 / 10.0
The place was cheap and easily accessible. that was about it. There was no coffee in the room (tea yes, but we don't drink tea). the Pool was off limits due to being green (The whole reason we chose to stay there besides it being cheap, was for the pool) and unclean. there was no breakfast or food being served.

It was great to be able to have my pets with me.
It is not good that the so-called fenced area was not pet-proof, with large gaps under fences, and hedges instead of fencing, allowing everything to escape. Attention to properly closed in pet court-yards would hugely improve the Resort. Also, some food/drink vending machines?

Bed bugs everyhwere! Just dirty and old

The bathroom vanity was falling apart the curtains were falling apart/torn and dirty. Chairs on the balcony were old and not comfortable to sit in. Had to take the inside chairs to use the balcony. The table we had to put a beach towel on as it was so dirty. The whole place needs to be maintained and given a good clean to get up to a satisfactory standard.

Good - room size, some 30 sqm, two double beds (although we ordered one queen, but it looks like all room have at least two beds. Rooms overlooking park area, nice, green and quiet. And the rates are cheap comparing to other properties available it the area (it's about 5-10 min drive to Terrigal, 15 min drive to The Entrance). Separate table and two chairs inside and another set at the balcony. Enough power points around the room (it's often a problem in hotels).
Bad - this property probably fits definition of "run-down". Everything is old, no fly screen, fridge produced more water than cool, shower door replaced with a curtain, bath in poor state (although clean). No batteries were supplied with A/C remote.

Was preparing myself for a funeral an wasnt expecting what i found on arrival.My room was absulotely putrid.Blood stain on mattress,dirt an dust on everything. Broken cupboards,broken curtains,filthy tiny balcony that had weeds growing thru the floor.
I mentioned to the manager at the time he told me he would not come and look at the room(as he knew ot was disgusting) he suggested i check out another room that was just as putrid.
It was later than usual checkin at roughly 7pm as id driven 8hours that day i was exhausted.I was then told if i didnt like it to go elsewhere and wait 7 to 10 working days for a refund.Due to funeral and time of evening i reluctantly stayed.I was offered a can of coke as a bribe haha.This man then told me that he would contact his cleaners to clean the room if i wanted to stay again.Absulote fool.
I have photos of this disgusting place to proove my words if anyone would like to see them i can be contacted on 0448566047.
Definitely the biggest ripoff dump ive ever stayed in.

Nothing was upkept, the place was so dirty there was the last peoples hair in the shower. Looked like they had just changed the bedding and not cleaned anything else. Was given 2 half rolls of toilet paper and the matresses very uncomfortable. Air con didn't work either.

I liked the friendly face on arrival and the location was great. There was plenty of hot water for a shower. My only dislike was the fact that we only had three days there. If we were in the area again we will stay there again.
The restaurant attached is nice and the food was really good and plentiful.
The room we stayed in had no microwave which is a real oversight in these days for people on the move.

I rang to ask for early access to room for 1:30pm instead of usual 2:30pm & nothing had been done about it. Though they had said it would be OK. Communication was very poor due to poor English. We were given a room where the cleaner had just started cleaning so that stressed her so she said there were other rooms available. He finally understood what we were asking for & gave us a room, as we needed to unload our car so we could put a wheelchair in it to take my mum out who lives locally. The room we were given had no overhead lights only one bedside light. The bathroom fan was so noisy & in need of repair. The plumbing in shower, hand basin & toilet all need fixing as constantly leaking. There was no toaster, no microwave to be able to fix your own breakfast in the morning. There were no glasses supplied only 3 teacups & a few milk samples, not enough to give yourself cereal. We take our own bowls & cutlery but would be good to have a basic set in a room. Beds were comfortable & generally the room was clean. We had recently stayed at smaller Motels that were $30 cheaper than what we paid here & they had all the amenities & facilities you need in a room for an overnight stay when travelling. So definitely not value for money here. I know the owners are only new but they need to fix up the basics in each room before doing major renovations as it’s often the little details that count.

Staff were very accommodating with our schedule being unsure of due to a tournament we were attending. Stayed with a group. Kids really enjoyed the facility. Will stay again.

The dog fencing! You could open the slider doors for your room and let your pet chill outside in a safe area.
