Guest Reviews

Rachel (6/5): - Large room with a balcony, plenty of space in the room as well. Staff were helpful with after-hours check in. Beautiful location. Mould in bathroom and cracked shower door. There was a large hole in the upper skirting board in the bathroom that exposed electrical wiring. The bed was also one of the least comfortable I've ever encountered. For over $200 a night it didn't seem like great value for money.
Ambrose (8/5): -
Steven (10/5): - Clean close to town and nice beds to sleep in
Debbie (8/5): - Good location Large room Comfortable bed No shower curtain, floor got very wet from shower.
Peter (3/5): Served a purpose - Location Dated and not the cleanest
Lynda (3/5): - The pub was across the road The internet didn't work properly, ouroom was not clean properly and our bathroom door was broken. There were bricks missing on the outside of the building, outside the office stunk of off rubbish with fish in it.
Nina (8/5): -
Nell (5/5): Good location but disappointing stay for the price. - The property is located in the rustic village of Wiseman’s Ferry, surrounded by beautiful national parks. The room was large, and it was an easy walk to the Pub for dinner and the shop/cafe for breakfast. We didn't like the check-in process. We had trouble with the online link and had to phone someone to come to reception, even though it was open but unattended. This took more than 15 minutes. We were then told that their restaurant was closed (Sunday night) and that the pool was about to shut, as it was nearly 5 pm. We had trouble inserting the key into the lock to open the room, and the front door was extremely hard to push open due to its weight, then closed quite quickly by itself. The room needed maintenance. While using the bathroom, one switch turned on the light and a very noisy fan. The bathroom door was slatted, but several slats were missing, and the door wouldn't shut. The bedside tables were very flimsy, the air conditioner was loud, and the road outside was also quite noisy overnight. For the price of this room, which was one of the most expensive on our three-week trip, we were very disappointed and would not recommend staying here.
Diana (6/5): It meets our requirements for this short stay - Clean and tidy No microwave facility.
Michelle (10/5): -
Jody (7/5): - Beautiful grounds We lost our water supply
Ruth (7/5): - Room was a little tired/dated.
Daniel (9/5): -

Tianlong (7/5): -
Elena (4/5): Hotel is very good and clean and good price - We stayed at this hotel for the second time. Our first visit (just my husband and I) was excellent — everything was clean, the pool area was great, and breakfast was a lovely bonus. I would have definitely given it 5 stars. However, our second stay with kids was disappointing. The room had an unpleasant smell, and most importantly, there was no bedding or blanket provided for the sofa bed. Since reception closes at 5 pm and contacting them after hours costs extra, we couldn’t resolve the issue. We had to improvise with towels, and everyone ended up cold overnight. This really affected our experience.
Lisa (10/5): -
Penelope (4/5): -
Susan (6/5): OK but the hotel needs to put more staff on - Excellent location, beautiful grounds Unable to check in on time as one lassie appeared to be doing all the work - cleaning, check in, reception, sorting issues. She was lovely but harassed, the hotel should put more staff on duty. Pool a bit tired, also needs more sunshades. Room not as clean as I would have expected - again, one person only on.
Stacey (10/5): -
George (6/5): It was good for what it was. - Location is great Needs a pest control spray and the ac unit had black mould spores in the vent. The sofa bed was actually an old school fold out bed you would see in a hospital back in the day. It is value for money and the location is great for what I needed
JTFN (8/5): Prima als verblijfplaats op doortocht. - De ligging.
Patricia (10/5): Love this place and definitely be back for my 40th - Just amazing everything was perfect No shade on pool kids got over heated and burnt very quick even with sun screen
anthony (8/5): - Great location
Kortay (10/5): -
Mel (10/5): Beautiful - I took my 11 years old daughter and it was safe and so relaxing. My purpose was to make a memory with my daughter while let her rest before her school starts. My daughter enjoyed the pool so much. I let my daughter sleep during the hot hours then she got out and play in the pool again and again. Overall we had a great time. Thanks for the experience.
Rebecca (9/5): - We loved the pool, the room was very clean and comfortable
Peter (8/5): -
Kristie (1/5): - The tap didnt work to wash our hands, we had no shower curtain for the shower and we had cochroaches. Was not a good experience at all.
Stuart (8/5): -
Sarah (9/5): Lovely resort, shame we only stayed one night! - Well maintained and lovely grounds. Room well appointed.
Philip (9/5): Beautiful property on the river - Beautiful property Nothing
Christine (3/5): Disappointed with the stay - The big bed The extremely loud music being played by other guests by the pool it was making our room vibrate, Not to mention the pile of dead flies on the window seals The dangerous looking hand rails that had rotted away only being held together by the paint The moss covered paths on the rainy day made it very slippery
Maria (4/5): Comfortable bed but extremely questionable cleanliness and upkeep, notably due to age of property. - Comfortable bed and pillows Bathroom mould and mildew. Large cockroach in room. Reported view of lake very very misleading. Cobwebs on inside of sliding door to balcony. Balcony in desperate need of cleaning and painting. 40th birthday party being held and music was deafening and far above level needed.
Bill (10/5): Perfect Stay - We loved the peace and quiet and being right on the river! The hospitality was also fantastic! Highly recommend
Heather (8/5): -
Doreen (1/5): Dont stay here - The position suited us. The bathroom was dirty. The basin was cracked the shower needed a clean with exit mould and the room in general was down at heel and dirty. Would not stop their again. We left early we were so disappointed.

Marilyn (8/5): -
Mark (7/5): -
Cameron (7/5): nice place - dated but comfortable dated but comfortable
bev (7/5): -
Debra (10/5): Nice relaxing stopover close to town - Location It was fantastic
Natasha (3/5): Hugely disappointing in so many way - Great location, great pool and grounds, walking distance to everything The rooms are being refurbished and we were supposed to be in one of those ... pipes were exposed, there was no doorstep, the bathroom door slats were broken and the tv tiny, non-existant view of back of a sign... They checked us into the wrong rooms, then moved our items to a new room, passports, laptops, valuables etc while we were out and left the new room key on the doorstep! Not great with a fully booked hotel.They also mislaid items and reception shut at 5pm, so noone to help. The night manager didnt respond at all. There was no food or restaurant as it was being refurbed too....really disappointing
Jason (10/5): Awesome place for a getaway - Complementary upgrade to suit our needs N/A
Matthew (1/5): Very disappointed especially as a return quest Definitely not worth the money charged - Room wasn’t ready upon check in. After a full day travelling I then had to wait over an hour. King bed was two singles pushed together that came apart Maybe river views 30 years ago Showers are useless
Rista (10/5): -
Col (8/5): Great location - The location the pool the wifi Nothing critical , just a long walk to the pool if you’re having trouble walking
Aishling (10/5): -
Sandy (8/5): It was just a a short stop over for us, nice to see the quaint little town. - It was a lovely setting. Pretty , peaceful place to stay.
Leigh (6/5): -
Joeanne (9/5): - Scenery being around nature. Located near local club and pub and parks with bbqs. Staff were friendly and helpful.
pamela (6/5): - Staff handled a difficult situation well.just unfortunately for us we were there while a group of selfish people were there
Belinda (9/5): A pretty place to stay surrounded by riverland and Bushland. Close to all the conveniences of town. Very helpful staff. - A lovely acreage location on the river, very close to the center of town and everything you need. Beautiful big swimming pool and our unit was very roomy with lovely views. Room 408 was great, and it was lovely to have an end room, but the nearest parking spot was too far away, and it was very awkward, carrying all our stuff downstairs and along narrow paths and upstairs. Considering how large this property is, it would be relatively simple to create parking much nearer to these end buildings
Susan (7/5): -
Stephanie (6/5): -
Alex (10/5): -
Alan (7/5): - Location excellent Shower moldy
Marion (8/5): - Staff very helpful. Check in and suitable room.
Nena (8/5): thank you very much! - Staff were so accommodating and provided a good location for a conference call. The convenient location near a pub and club and breakfast venue was a real plus!
David (10/5): -
Emilinda (2/5): Great location but run down resort - Location was very central Very run down and needs maintenance
Kapila (8/5): -
Scott (8/5): -
Natalie (10/5): Lovely relaxing location and nice retreat. Will be back. Thank you - The room was lovely, comfortable bed and clean. The staff were exceptional and very helpful. Would recommend a stay here, very relaxing. The pool needed a clean, too many feathers for me to want to go for a swim. Mosquitos came in through the vertical part of door frame, so I was bitten all over my face under the sheets. Unfortunately one got infected and I ended up in hospital with cellulitis. Fans really need to be put in the rooms to stop the mosquitos as I’m allergic to sprays. Or recommend a mosquito zapper that I managed to get day 3. Otherwise everything was perfect and a beautiful place.
Matthew Driver (9/5): -
Ebony (10/5): -
Damon (10/5): -
Michaela (10/5): Quiet, calm and affordable getaway to get kids into nature. - Beautiful grounds. Spacious and peaceful.
Wen Kiat (10/5): -
Millie (10/5): -
Seik Lee (9/5): - Nice and quiet ,walk to the shop
Sara (6/5): - I was requested by staff to attend earlier than scheduled on the public holiday and was informed that no one would be available after 3:00 p.m. However, during this period, telephone calls were not answered, and there was no internet connectivity or access to Netflix in the rooms. Considering the rate of $340.00 per night, this was quite disappointing and not reflective of the standard expected. The property itself is beautiful, but unfortunately, it does not appear to be managed or operated effectively.
Vandna (6/5): - Pools were dirty and the room had a musty smell.Nothing for kids. Didn't enjoy at all . Checked out a day sooner than planned.
Ryan (10/5): -
Bruce (10/5): - The room was perfect.
Sarah (6/5): -
Rivka (10/5): A must stay! - Beautiful location, lots of ammenities for families and close to everything you need. Staff (Lisa) were amazing! She went above and beyond to make our stay wonderful and took the extra time to make our little girl feel special. Could not fault anything!
Dani (10/5): Value for money in a brilliant location excellent staff and facilities, we will be back - The receptionist was so lovely! We didn't realise our hot water wasn't working (though we had tried it after fishing and couldn't get the tap hot, we didn't think too much of it. Later on, the receptionist called us to let us know there was an issue in the block with hot water and upgraded us to a huge family room. The bed was so comfortable. The spa bath was an extra bonus. The gardens are beautiful and its a great place to relax and unwind.
Don (7/5): -
ugmeup (10/5): Peaceful - The check in was so amazing, kind woman and it made everything feel perfect. Room was beautiful and very quiet How could you fault this place
Neil (5/5): Value good given above issues did not exist. - Property location was good No light in kitchenette TV didn’t work After hours service after 5.00pm non responsive until 8.00pm Morning disturbed by gardener blowing leaves away with scratching petrol blower on pavement outside the rooms. This should be started after 10.00am when guests are expected to vacate premises.
Nijjar (10/5): -
Yanni (9/5): -
Jane (9/5): -
Nichelle (10/5): A beautiful, relaxing retreat and wonderful way to getaway from the stresses of the everyday. - The location was absolutely stunning with beautiful views of the river. There were plenty of facilities available for entertainment and we particularly enjoyed playing tennis on the courts, attempting a dip in the pool (it was cold but my daughter loved it), having a picnic on the picnic tables by the pool area and playing frisbee on the grounds. It was a 10/10 experience for me.
Erin (7/5): - Location Very hard bed, two king single beds pushed together but different heights.
michael (7/5): Great value for money, even better location, but a bit tired. Would stay again. - Slightly hesitant to book as there are some rather well reasoned poor reviews. That said, it was only an overnighter during the winter off season and we weren't travelling to stay at this place, we stayed at this place as we were travelling. Yes, the bathroom needs a spruce up - but it was clean - as does the retreat in general, and the gardens particularly could do with some love. But to be honest, it's perfectly acceptable and at least as good as an equivalent motel you see in rural towns. The biggest difference however was the price, as it was cheaper than most of those same motels these days. My assumption is they know it needs a reno - and I understand there's a major one planned - so they're pricing accordingly. Overall, the room was clean and mostly well maintained, the location is hard to beat and the price was great. Noise transfer between rooms isn't great. And the mattress is extremely firm!
karlene (10/5): Relaxing - Comfortable clean and relaxing
Matt (9/5): - Great location with great and helpful friendly staff. Very comfortable beds. Great local food and coffee close by.
Paul (10/5): - Great value for money, super clean, simple but really nice, would stay here any time!
Liz (8/5): - Great location. Communication was good as we expected to check in late.
Jose (3/5): - Great location near the pub an parks. Unfortunately, we stayed in the middle of winter. Our room heater didn't work and it was a $75 call out fee to have someone come and look at it after 5pm. We had to sleep with extra layers of clothing on.
Christine (8/5): - Large, comfortable room in a quiet and peaceful setting near the river. We were there for a function and it was great having a room just metres away from the function centre. Staff was very obliging. Only tiny complaint was no complimentary biscuits or snack to have with our cup of tea.
Joanna (7/5): The retreat is good for a short getaway - Great location - walking distance to the pub and coffee shop Loved the heating and little sink in the coffee/tea nook 2 beds pushed together to make a king - they were uneven and not so comfortable on my side Some dead and live cockroaches Slippery shower floor as water would spray across the floor as shower curtain was removed
Melissa (10/5): Lovely relaxing place to stay. Quiet, clean and friendly. - Location, friendly staff, clean room, comfortable bed, coffee machine No biggy but an outdoor light right outside my room was on all night.
Shelley (8/5): - The grounds and the bird life were beautiful. There was a conference at the time but it was still quiet and peaceful. The bed was comfortable. The "kitchen area" was very small and a microwave would have been extremely useful. Also a small table and chairs would have been great. Overall though we had a lovely stay in a serene beautiful area and would go back again.
