Had a very warm welcome on our arrival and discontinued throughout our stay. Our room was extremely clean and very well stopped. Possibly the best bed that we have slept in on our stay on our various days in Australia. And a pillow menu is always greatly appreciated. We have stayed in lesser Hotels better Hotels that do not offer this.

Good size, good location with easy parking. Great pools. Just a few things that need fixing and a few bugs inside the apartment . One thing it lacked was reception no one there to greet you and also to be able to leave bags when arriving before checkin or after check out.
