$39 drinks wasn’t worth a roast beef and pork. Roast of the day are pubs cheapest meals. I know it’s not a pub. For two people it was cheaper by $4 to walk to the pub, where we had steak and Solomon and drinks. Then walk back in the moon light…

Very tired, needs life back into the resort considering many people come and play golf there, the resort is terrible. They need more tables and some fans near the golf club bar so you can sit back and enjoy a drink. It was so hot that we didn’t even finish our drinks. The restaurant food was overpriced for what they served out.

Overall it was nice to get away, however the resort is quite old now. The food in the buffet was amazing and the staff were super friendly and made the trip even better. The food at the tavern was great value and really good quality. Janine was one of the staff in the buffet and she went above and beyond every time we saw her.

Very dirty dingy. approx 20years too late for this property. itis evident it was once a happening place but now looks to have been left for dead by owners. No bar open at 5pm on a friday as a breastfeeding mum I want food as well which turned into an absolute mission!! the cleanliness of the room was disgusting. toilet basically uncleaned, the rooms smelt musty as heck and mould evident in places. We will not be returning here again.

Good hotel with a lot of potential.

Hotel was clean and comfortable. Room air con tempremental - one minute very cold and then warm, without even touching the dial. Showing its age but that did not impact on our stay. Service was great. Lillies restaurant not open for dinner but local pavilion open and a short walk or free shuttle away. Pool area good with a nice spa pool. Golf was great.

I had an issue with our booking not being as per request. 3 guys booked and paid for with a 2 queen bed room to be supplied. I have been trying to talk to the Manager now for 5 days and the arrogant piece of work will not take my call or respond to the emails sent to him form the poor reception staff. Good luck if you stay here hope it work out as you will not get any support from the Kooralbyn Resort if you have an issue.

The room itself had no seating so had to sit on the bed , the bathroom flooded every time we showered, one of the tv’s didn’t work. There was no internet in the rooms although this was advertised as available. Went to play on the driving range but couldn’t as the machine was broken. There was a plastic shower cap covering the smoke alarm which is a bit scary. All staff were very friendly. It was like staying in a cheap motel.
