It achieved what we needed a bed for the night other than that cannot say I would recommend it......
Pros:

Not much sorry

Cons:

staff was at best not interested when I left also the room looked tired (broken tile in the shower) and the small light near the bedroom did not worked, no electric blanket either, sorry it is winter........ no breakfast facilities I should of asked BUT could not that was not available on the wedpage. It seems a conference centre bar and breakfast but other people like myself needing a stop over......just a bed

Enjoyable
Pros:

Bed were very comfortable. We liked everything about the room including the bathroom (nice bath). In the lounge section, used the microwave and tea/coffee. BYO wine and used the wine glasses.

Cons:

Noticed the bathroom door needs a "stopper" as it bangs against the bath and could use a fly screen on the window.
We would have liked to have dinner at a restaurant on site but could not due to conference booking.

Pros:

So peaceful and quiet, comfortable beds, big rooms, lovely walks around the facilities and nearby towns

Cons:

My son didn’t like the bugs and spiders in the room he had - however we kinda take that with being in bushlands - suggest do a sweep first if anyone is a little squeamish on bugs :)
