Pros:

Die Dame vom Personal war sehr freundlich.

Cons:

Das Rührei war einfach grausam und ungeniesbar. Das Frühstück sehr einfach, der Kaffee war gut.
Das Zimmer war alt und hätte ein Renovierung dringend nötig. In der Beschreibung steht frisch renoviert - das ist sehr viele Jahre her.

Nice one night stop with great food dinner and breakfast were outstanding.
Pros:

The reception, restaurant and swimming pool area was really nice. It was secure and tidy.

Cons:

The room window looked out to the road the door also had a window but it was rather dark so needed lighting on all the time. The kitchenette area only had one chair. Would have been nice to have two for a couple.

We only stayed one night on our way to Karijini but the place was perfect.
Pros:

Nice and clean. Spacious rooms. Central.

Cons:

We found the early finish to breakfast a little odd. And the meal at the steakhouse restaurant was re-heated grilled chicken. It was supposedly straight off the grill like the steaks but this was dry.
