- Franz (4/5): Shocker Horror - They waited for me to check in The room. The locking system. The state of the bathroom. No ac . Heavy road noise. How was it spoken to by the owner. Was a shocker
- Lyn (5/5): Passable - It was close to where we needed to be The front facades was not like the picture in the advertisement. The shower needs to be cleaned as the grout was discoloured and dirty
- Robyn (5/5): Passable - It wasn't up to my expectations on a previous accommodation. Didnot see the owners, only via text messages. It wasn't up to my expectations on a previous accommodation. Didnot see the owners, only via text messages.
- Rob (1/5): I do not recommend. - Would have been nice had I needed to stay The manager was not helpful whatsoever, and had no consideration for personal circumstances allowing flexibility of the booking. Will not be booking here again.
- Matthew (7/5): Good -
- Lenard (1/5): Did not get to stay there is why I am leaving this review - Did not get access to the room that I paid for due to poor customer service. Was left standing in the car park after taking a taxi from the airport to the site. Paid for the room and not given what I paid for. Not getting access to the room that I paid for due to poor customer service
- Edna (8/5): Very good - Central location The shower was abit small and I was worried I would wet the floor but overall it was worth the stay
- Andrew (8/5): Did the job. - Conveniently placed to the venue I was working at. Doona cover with no duvet in it. Thin pillows.
- Andrew (9/5): Superb - The peace Not having a small smokers area
- Glenn (1/5): Shit - The address It was back packed not a motel
- Joel (1/5): I rate it 1 - I didn't like anything about this place due to the fact I wasn't able to stay there.. It was messy it wasn't what the as said it was it was run down rubbish everywhere and I wasn't able to get in contact with the property until the next day.. partner and I slept at a bus stop that night.
- Courtney (4/5): Wouldn't recommend this place - It was convenient to the place I needed to go but the drive way was terrible in my opinion and the room was really cramped I didn't like how I paid $505 for one small room for two people when there were other rooms cheaper and had its own facilities in the room, I had to go from the booked room to the common room which was to much of a hassle expecially since we were really tired from our day activities
- Ryan (3/5): Poor -
- Ikudede (10/5): Exceptional -
- Mannie (3/5): Poor -
- Ufi (9/5): Superb - Cheap, late check in, quiet. Lady was nice.:) I had no hot water for my shower, that was a bit of a let down, other than that, that was the only thing I was cross about. :) xox
- Johanna (1/5): Absolutely terrible, also the customer service team will stop responding when you ask politely for a refund you’re entit - I never stayed here because the property took my money and denied entry. Do not book here. Shocking property. Wasn’t supplied any check in info, property requested multiple check in ‘cash fees upon arrival’. After questioning the fees that were not advertised, I was denied entry to a property I had already paid for. Extremely rude customer service representative.
- Anish (5/5): Passable -
- Cherry (1/5): Bad - Very poor
- Ryan (5/5): Passable -
- Ida (7/5): Small self-contained accommodation in handy location. - Good location, breakfast not supplied. The bed needed a doona or blankets.
- Lola (1/5): Terrible, no compassion, money hungry, unprofessional, and so rude! - Nothing The fact that I wasn’t even allowed to stay nor get my money back from this booking!? Also that Michelle, the owner of the accommodation turned myself and my kids away during a dvo situation. Hence why we had to book the accommodation. I spoke with Michelle prior to booking and she didn’t mention that there were no kids allowed on the property.

- Lockley (8/5): Good overall. - Provided my own breakfast.As there is full cooking facilities.comfortable stay. The front deck is a little rundown.
- Lillian (3/5): I would not recommend Winnova to my friends. - The bed was comfortable. I am not a person who takes delight in criticizing places where I stay. However, upon arrival at Winnova my heart sank!
The garden and parking area were very unkempt, the pot plants were dead and there was a rumpled up green carpet on the parking area. A baby’s pool just cast away in the garden.
The rooms were shabby with only a curtain between the shower/toilet and the bedroom.
The furniture was very tired looking.
No coffee, tea and small jug of milk.
Winnova House looked like it was run on a shoestring 😔
- Bentley (8/5): Very good -
- D (2/5): BED BUGS - Location BED BUGS. BED BUGS. BED BUGS. BED BUGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The place is riddled with BED BUGS
Lacked privacy from neighbouring properties who can see straight into the room from the entry door window which has no curtain.
- Anonymous (8/5): Very good -
- Paul (10/5): Easy, hassle-free and comfortable. - Simple and clean and I didn’t need extras.
The host was very helpful and made my stay very comfortable. Thank you.
- Virginia-lee (1/5): Worst place to stay - Nothing at all Everything about the stay. The location was terrible. The room was small and uncomfortable. The owner was extremely rude.

- Hafiz (5/5): Passable - Location was nice and easy accessibile, onsite parking. No towels were provided.
- John (7/5): Good - Easy n private Think too pricey for area and type of property but facilities are good
- Keita (10/5): Great - It was clean room I wanted to take a shower on own room.
- John (2/5): A dump and a rip off. - Nothing. No coffee. No milk. Only some very cheap teabags in a dirty, shared kitchen. Bare amenities belonging to the 1970s. I could hear the person next door snoring. The TV had only a handful of bad channels. The heater was very noisy, and didn't work properly anyway. The room was so tiny the TV was actually in the cupboard. They put out a long list of rules similar to a jail, yet the woman said "it's normal". It's in a lousy location, yet they have the cheek to charge $165/night. Dreadful place.
- Adrian (8/5): Very good -
- Lesley (8/5): Very good -
- Khethu (8/5): Very good -
- Adrian (8/5): Very good - Very secure with off street parking. Good clean facilities
- Barry (8/5): great - liked the federation look. Great Hosts
- Callum (4/5): Overall it was okay, but overpriced for the quality of the room and facilities. - Contactless access was good, as it could be done a little later,.
Communication was clear and very helpful. The location was not well sign posted and was difficult to find on the road.
Room was small with a platform bed that was difficult to reach.
It was poorly insulated as it was cold and any sound could be heard from other rooms.
- Anne (6/5): This is clean low budget accommodation with more privacy than backpackers. I would stay here again. - Kitchen has microwave, induction cooktop stove and fridge. No breakfast provided. Bring your own everything.
The room was clean and comfortable.
The bathroom was clean and although shared, I didn't see any other guests using it. Arrived at night and wasn't sure it was the right place, although address was correct. Everything was dark until I walked up to within 3 m of the entrance. Needs a small sign saying 'Winnova House' somewhere at the front. Note: contactless check-in (ring or text staff for PIN).
- Rushby (10/5): Don't believe the bad reviews. Read carefully for private bathroom and TV. - I stayed in the Queen room with private bathroom, TV and internet access. Bed was clean, air-conditioning was nice and it was really quiet experience. I had the TV on which was a nice touch. Shower and toilet were very clean. The friendliness of the host was my favourite part, very understanding and quick to answer my call even when I was checking in around 10pm. The bad reviews that don't really reflect the accommodation. I stayed on the 14th of April 2023 and I didn't have anything bad to say about my stay, it was quiet, I didn't see any other patron. Overall amazing stay.
- Sarbdiyal (1/5): Bad - nothing no attached bathroom and no supplies in toilets
- Larissa (1/5): Wouldn't recommend - Looked nothing like the picture. It was so uncomfortable. The host was nice but the experience staying in that accommodation was absolutely horrible. I wouldn't recommend this place to stay. I don't even know why it's allowed on Booking.com?

- Scott (10/5): Exceptional -

The TV didn't work there was no Ariel there was no coffee sugar milk or tea
The shower dripped all night
There was no complimentary soaps or shampoo
It was very clostraphobic Everything I said above
Also I had already booked and paid for the room and was given a code to get in with no instructions when I finally got through to someone I was on the phone for 40min as they wanted a photo of my licence even though it was in bookings with no phone service this was hard to send through
Finally she got a pic of my licence then I had to read the licence number out to her with no light
I had travelled for 6 hours so this was very frustrating
- Anonymous (7/5): Good -
- Didier (1/5): Bad - Don’t waste your time and money on this thing called a restroom. The owner is very rude, the place doesn’t matches the price. And she doesn’t even want to refunds. I don’t even know how she got a license to operate this dump place she calls a rest house
- Francis (10/5): Exceptional -
- Richard (1/5): Never to go - I lost 2 nights fee, but no stay. The owner promised to refund all the fees to me , but not keep promose. No keeping their words
- Mr (9/5): Superb -
- Kayla (3/5): Poor -
- Arcastill (8/5): Very good -
- Joy (6/5): Pleasant - Room was big Ceiling fan that has no means of turning on. Cheap pedestal fan instead that rattled and vibrated. Doona cover only with no doona inside for bedding, no top sheet. Towels like tissue paper.
Maybe some air freshener in a shared bathroom might be an idea 💡
- Anonymous (10/5): peaceful - it was clean and quiet. my room was very comfortable nothing
- Daniel (1/5): Bad -
- Donald (4/5): Disappointing - Bed was good. A group of boys making a lot of noise at 11-30 pm at night, had to ask them three times to quiet down so we could get to sleep.
- John (4/5): Ok - Not being able to see the person to show you to room, and not knowing what to do with bedding, towels etc
