I was so happy with this unit at gateway. It was so clean, the shower was huge and the bed was so comfortable. Upon booking at reception I was greeted with a very lovely lady who was extremely polite and hoped I enjoyed my stay. There was an information booklet in the room that had so much to see and a lot of options for dining. But there was also a kitchen at the units we could use if we decided to stay in. I will definitely be staying here again when we visit Childers next.
