Categories

Cleanliness
9.2
Repeatedly praised across reviews — described as 'beautiful and clean', 'super clean and tidy', 'very clean' and 'clean comfortable', indicating a consistently high standard of housekeeping.
Service
8.9
Generally positive: staff described as attentive, helpful and well organised with good reception/security support; isolated reports of rudeness and some room-service hiccups.
Location
9
Strong location feedback: easy access to club facilities, on-site bottle shop and restaurant, plenty of parking and convenient for local visits.
Room Quality
7.8
Mixed signals: many guests praised spacious rooms, comfy beds and good showers, but several mentions of cold rooms/heater problems, noisy AC, a dated bathroom and a too-soft mattress.
Amenities
8.3
Generally useful amenities (Netflix, free water/tea/coffee bottles, parking, spa) but some issues reported — spa jets not working, no in-room coffee/kitchen/toaster for longer stays and occasional maintenance noises.
Value for Money
7.6
Mixed value perceptions: positive comments about food and comfortable rooms but negatives around extra costs (e.g. $37 for two drinks) and a $100 bond dispute dampening perceived value.
Food and Beverage
8.7
Food generally well rated — guests recommended dinner and pies and called meals delicious; a few service delivery issues (forgotten dessert, ordering difficulties) noted.
Overall Experience
8.5
Overall positive: many guests would rebook and praised comfort, cleanliness and friendly staff, though a subset experienced heating/noise issues that limited enjoyment for those stays.

Perfect!
Pros:

Spacious and clean. Everything we needed. Most of all the beds were super comfy.

Cons:

No complaints apart from the drunk person talking loudly outside our room at 2:15am. Next time I would opt for a room not outside the stairway to level 2 - lots of noise at night when trying to get two girls in bed before a netball tournament.
