6 Jul 2026Great location, very safe and so much potential, but for near $200 for a night stay this property needs serious renovations.

Staff rude
It was more like an indigenous camp
No hot water or milk for coffee. Place was filthy with cigarette nuts and blood sprayed across balcony. Thousands of bugs in bed.
But bed was comfortable

3 May 2025The receptionist is very friendly, he helped me with the luggage. Room is comfortable and clean, they have a big front yard with beautiful view. The location is not far from town but enough to be quiet at night, they also have electric gate for security. You could have breakfast buffet with the discount price 15$.

22 Jun 2026The room was clean but needs a lot of attention.
The paint is peeling, the toaster didn't work, no dinner plates, not enough cutlery in the room we stayed in.
The website advertised free wifi in the room but is not.
The website also advertised a restaurant. That is closed so no meals at all except for junk food vending machines.

4 May 2026Obviously, the breakfast buffet doesn’t exist, although it was included in our booking. The general presentation of the premises and our room was less than desirable. The representation of “resort view” was simply the car park. Maybe look elsewhere…

4 Feb 2026Single blanket made up on queen bed- looked hilarious! Curtains barely covered window space when stretched out flat, allowed light in big time. Piles of furniture and rubbish everywhere, very unkempt outside areas. Noisy AC, freezer hardly froze ice bricks, the list does go on and on
2/10 Poor

We had low expectations and we were still disappointed

13 Sept 2025Unit was dirty. Accommodation was run down. There were not enough eating utensils and drink ware for two people. How can you wash up what you use when there is not even a plug for the sink or a tea towel.
2/10 Poor
Gary
5 Jun 2025I had booked and paid for 2 nights with breakfast but upon seeing the room I raised my concerns with the manager as I was then told to leave the premises as he would not let me stay in any rooms of his. I want a complete refund

26 Dec 2025Well, its first impressions that count most !! Drove into the resort and thought fk me its a dump, litter and rubbish visible etc. The "recepion" sic area was no better, all very poorly rundown etc.
The pool ? Yeah nah not today
The restaurant ? Closed
The coffee shop ? Closed
The guest laundry ? Rubbish and non operating machines
Other guests ? Was interesting being verballed by a drunk angry local at 7.00 AM on xmas day.
The room was actually clean and kind of renovated.
Memo from this time - dont always trust the photos !!!!!

19 Jun 2026It would have been really good to have a shower and a coffee after a 600 km drive but unfortunately there was no milk for coffee and no soap for a shower I dont think that has ever happened to me before not ever in a $100 hotel never mind paying $200 for this experience
