Will not stay there again and don't recommend anyone else does.
Pros:

It offered dining and lodging on site. Had ample parking. The staff that were available at the bar and restaurant were helpful, polite, and professional.

Cons:

Bit out of the way. Lodging was very understaffed. Received a text giving reception hours with alternate location bring bottle shop. Reception was never opened during my entire two night stay, bottle shop did not respond, inquires at the bar resulted in someone checking us in. At 9:30 AM no one was available anywhere to check out or turn in key. If you are too busy to run the hotel, close it down. Found bugs (live) in several locations in the room. Lights did not work in first room.

Comfortable
Pros:

The room was mostly pretty clean. The bed was comfy and the chocolates an added bonus. We like the spa bath and bath salts.

Cons:

The bathroom floor was filthy and the room needs more ventilation. Having to find someone to check us in was a pain, had to go into the bar area and wait. Another guest had lost his key to his room and the staff weren’t very helpful. Surely there would be spare keys! If not, they need to cut some asap as it’s easy to lose a key and people are only human.
Also we got woken up at 3 am by our neighbour who sat outside and blasted his phone for an hour. We didn’t say anything in fear of escalating the situation but I did notice no after hours contact for the property. So if you did have any major issues you’d be stuffed.

We had a really enjoyable stay and I felt like I was able to relax. Such a pretty place.
Pros:

The setting is absolutely gorgeous...and they have alpacas! We were only staying overnight as we had to go the following day to pick up a ute to drive back to Hervey Bay. The food is very good- we had room service for dinner and the selection is quite large. Very YUMMY! The staff were lovely and so helpful. We will be coming back for sure! Thanks, guys!

Cons:

That we could not stay for longer!

Great stay for the whole family
Pros:

Loved the bath tub and that it was super kid friendly

Cons:

I wish we could charge meals onto our room and since we stayed two nights we had to request more water regularly. I wish we'd have had it refilled each day.
