Nice quiet location for a weekend getaway.
Pros:

located within golf courts, nice surroundings and has wild kangaroos. Clean. Restaurant is actually quite good.

Cons:

No facility like playground nearby for the kids. Not much to do if you don’t play golf.

We four ladies had a wonderful stay here with great access to the golf course.
Pros:

We relocated from King Suites to King Rooms (1 bed) and they were lovely. It was great that there was seating for 4 people in the rooms which enabled us to get together and chat. We were 4 ladies on a golf trip. All the staff were very helpful and friendly. The Restaurant was easily accessible in the main building and we were treated to a lovely garden setting with Kangaroos bounding past!

Cons:

The fold down couches in the King Suites were unsuitable as beds so we relocated into King Rooms which were excellent.

Nice hotel, poor restaurant
Pros:

Nice hotel set on a golf course.
The hotel itself is very good with very pleasant staff.
Unfortunately, the restaurant let's the side down. At dinner we waited over 30 minutes just to place an order. Staff were great, just not very effective. The food was decidedly average, not in keeping with the feel of the hotel.
Breakfast...... what a disaster zone. Not sufficient food out for the number of guests. Many items kept running out. There are 3 self serve Nespresso coffee machines with long queues and often out off action for maintenance. The cooked offering was grim.
