Location.

The photos didn’t match the rooms. The room looked completely different from the photos. There was blood or a red substance on our walls. Mold in the shower.

"Tired and expensive. Not value for money"

4.0

Location was really the only plus

The cost was very high. The place was run down. The office smelt of curry. Half finished plastering in a number of places. Holes in other places. Not very clean. Hand sanitizer from previous occupant behind pillow on couch. Left 2 days early due to cyclone. Asked for refund based on that but not forthcoming.

"Average place."

5.0

The bed was big and comfortable. Very good location for access to the lake and walks.

Wasn't overly clean. Had to ask for an extra blanket and breakfast bowl as these weren't in the place. Poor fella looking after the place seemed surprised each time I talked to him. Ants. Small and noisey heater that wasn't up to the task.
