Pros:

The rooms were absolutely beautiful with a private garden. Breakfast was very good and the staff were great. Facilities in the room were very good.

Cons:

The loft room above us had a creaky floor which had us awake early most morning's when those guests were moving about. There was not a smart TV in our room so we ended up watching things on our telephone after our day's activities (local TV was limited).

Pros:

The bedroom is a chalet type room with a big bedroom and wide verandah. The bathroom was adequate good size, and there is a small kitchen/utility area to prepare drinks.

Breakfast was good and the staff very friendly and helpful.

Cons:

The wardrobe area is badly designed with inadequate space for clothes longer than a nights stay.

We visited early in the week and found the availability of eating places in the town very limited.

Overpriced, poor facilities, cheeky staff - not worthy of 5 star rating!
Pros:

The setting was lovely and tranquil, the room was spacious, and breakfast was good.

Cons:

Thought the man on reception was rather cheeky. Upon arrival, he said you're too early (not in a nice tone), but our room was ready, so I didn't feel the need for him to make this remark. Furthermore, I had originally booked to stay at Lilianfels (sister property) but changed to Parklands because Lilianfels was undergoing some refurbishment, which coincided with our stay. Lilianfels couldn't guarantee some of the facilities would be open. When I asked about using Lilianfels for a swim, he told me that this wasn't possible. However, I asked that he call Lilianfels to check and lo and behold, I was able to use their facilities because Lilianfels is affiliated with Parklands and is advertised as such. So, I feel he just tried to fob me off, or else needs further training. Also, my booking was made via Booking.com, and the price was confirmed as $798 AUD, but Parklands charged me $809.97 AUD. When I queried the difference, he told me that it was down to the conversion rate, and I would have to contact Booking.com regarding this matter. However, it had nothing to do with Booking.com, as it was the property that charged me. It transpires that Parklands added 1.5% charge because I paid by debit card. They don't offer dinner, and the bar closes at 7 pm. Nobody is available at reception after 8 pm. There are a lot of shortcomings at Parklands, and it does not merit a 5-star rating. I also feel it is understaffed. There are probably a lot better properties to stay in at Blackheath. This was certainly not worth the money!
