Restaurant being part of the complex
Big spacious room
only one light bulb out of 6 worked in the bathroom, running the taps made a horrible vibration noise in the bathroom.
Bed wasn't that comfortable and pillows were the very cheap ones from KMART.
Room was disappointing as it was very old decor and right next to the main road so plenty of road noise.
Restaurant had very fancy menu for a 5 star hotel when actually i would give the hotel a 2 star.
5.0 / 5.0
Lovely location, straight across the road which led to a beautiful walk around the lake. The staff were so lovely and friendly and the room service dinner and breakfast was great.

All excellent
Room. Pre-booked for 4 occupants so not enough cups, chairs and towels.
However was promptly sorted when housekeeping made aware
Please put a waste paper basket in the bathroom
Lack of wallpaper in the corridor looked petty bad
The collection of junk outside our bedroom was unacceptable.

It was close to where o needed to be the next day
There was no hand soap in the bathroom. Glasses were mis matched, website options are different to what is on site (ie I thought we were getting a room with bath) also the menu was different.
The steak was cooked perfectly but could have had more wedges with it (there was three) they were not heated well.
5.0 / 5.0
Lively spacious room for our stay. Had everything we needed. Even coiffee & plunger. Restaurant was very well priced & nice. Terrific location. Will be staying here again. Picture of room taken following day.
The foyer was not vacumed during our stay. Linen was stacked in foyer.

2.5 / 5.0
We were dry , i enjoyed the spa and swimming pool . The beds were comfortable.
Shower and kitchen, facilities stopped at 9pm I think 10 would be better.
4.5 / 5.0
Love the room and bed. Breakfast was standard hotel fare but fresh and acceptable. Dinners from menu were fine and service was ok. Most staff are young and in need of a bit of experience. However, they were always trying to do their best and were very polite.
Nothing to say here.

Good location, large rooms
