Guest Reviews

• matthew (8/5): -
• Jennifer (9/5): Fantastic group getaway for Spilt Milk - Very close to EPIC for events, functional kitchen and AMAZING staff. They proactively contacted me to offer an extra night for a reduced price rather than making heaps more by pushing us to get out by the checkout time. Great setup and surprisingly quiet Nil
• Saurabh (8/5): Nice, comfortable, neat place to stay! - It is a nice clean place with all amenities to have a comfortable stay. Locks for toilet and bathroom didn’t work. So, if you are travelling with family, it is a hassle.
• Wayne (8/5): Great location, friendly staff, clean facility. - Kitchen, number of beds, location was excellent as we stayed directly opposite family residences. A couple of lights did not work as well as a switch on a double power point. I think the overall preventative maintenance on the Villa was lacking. I am of the understanding that the Carotel will not be operating by the end of 2026 as land developers will be taking over to develop multistory housing units.

• Gericke (8/5): The cabin met our needs well. Thank you - It had everything we needed for a one night stay (a bit cramped for a longer stay with 7 of us!). The cabin was clean and tidy. The folders with local information and expectations were very helpful. The heating worked well. Some found the mattresses and pillows a bit thin.

• Guest (7/5): -
• Tugut (7/5): -

• kandamkulathil kumar krishna (8/5): - Clean, spacious for a family and good location. Not enough stuff in the kitchen like plates, cups and pans specially when you stay with family and you decide to dine in the villa .
• Bobby (8/5): Good value for money - Good value of money, also good service and location (not far from CBD) It can be better with more entertainment facilities for family

• Vishal (10/5): It was a great experience staying here second time. - Clean and nice Liked it.
• Robinson (1/5): Extremely Disappointing - Advertising laundry services at an additional charge and there was NO laundry service/ facilities at all. Extremely inconvenient, especially when l had chosen this place based on the advertising of this facility. And then even more inconvenient, frustrating,and disappointing after travelling over 4hrs to be told by management that l would have to travel to Dickson to be able to do my sick grandmothers washing after picking it up from the hospital. Spa bath hair all in the bottom of bath plus only half the jets where in working order, then No hot water for others to have a shower. After advertising room for 8 people and only 2 people got to have a bath that wasn't even half full. Half the lights in the villa didn't work. No microwave dishes to use in the microwave. Extremely expensive for what you got!!!

• Galli (9/5): Superb - Fantastic Aircon not working it was the lady at reception said sorry no maintenance is public holidays...very very cold winter time no heater it was happening long weekend anyway charge experience. Next have bought own heater smaller. 😀
• Jessica (10/5): Exceptional - Fantastic clean, warm cabins and excellent customer service. Highly recommend!!
• Brad (6/5): Pleasant - Staff friendly In the pull out bed, we found an old wet towel in it when it was pulled out. Cleaning standards are obviously low. Air con until was also very dirty and hadn't been cleaned in a while.
• P (6/5): Pleasant - Location is great Some of the bedding was dirty and the shower had mould. Stayed here before and not had this issue.
• Dhaliwal (9/5): Perfect - Nice location, Clean immaculate Can't say anything
• Olesya (4/5): It was very cold - Manager was very friendly and helpful Outdated, aircon doesn’t work, very cold. Sticky floors.
• Salim (1/5): Never go to this property and recommend booking.com to remove it from their list - The photos and the description of the room which we have booked, was not the same. We booked the room for 5 kids and two adults (me and my wife) and we selected the property which had two bedroom, it had only 7 single beds for kids and there was not a double bed for couples. There was no staff in the reception even before 4:00 pm when we arrived and the number they provided for us was not working. The rooms were so cold during night that my kids could not sleep. I will never refer this property to any one and I also request booking.con to remove these types of properties from their list as they just get the money from customers without any facilities Beds, rooms, staff,
• Subash (10/5): Good family accommodation at best market price with all facilities - Spacious and excellent aircon facilities with sleeping aids and towels
• Imelda (10/5): We will book again for our next trip - The property is very clean and accessible to all. We enjoy our stay. The staff is kind. We will come back again. Thank you for accommodating us. Nothing
• Gupta (10/5): Exceptional - Every thing Nothing
• Tata (7/5): Good -
• Rachel (8/5): A very pleasant experience - Very warm and cozy It did not have laundry service
• Akol (10/5): Excellent please for Group Holiday - Everything 😊 Canberra so Cold 🥶
• Anonymous (10/5): Exceptional -
• Menaka (10/5): It was warm, small and comfortable place to stay with family. All the required basics were provided. Good value for mone - It was quiet, comfortable and in appropriate location for us. There’s nth specific that we didn’t like abt the property, it was just enough for us to spend night with family on our stopover.
• Anonymous (7/5): Good -
• Troy (8/5): - Neat, tidy & plenty of space, great shower. Our cabin was lovely & warm when we entered as the staff had turned the heater on prior to our arrival which was very appreciated as the weather was freezing.
• Patti (7/5): Good - Wifi is very poor
• Ralston (4/5): Think twice before you book. - As per the facilities provided they had Laundry for additional charge, but could not find any washing machine. Since its was a weekend there was no one at the reception. When I called thee nummber provided they asked to to pay $100 as a deposit, where as I has already paid the entire amount in advance. I asked for a receipt of the $100, have not received it yet. I booked in 2 queen beds with bunk beds, but instead received all Bunk beds. the after hours person was not able to help and was of no use. the soze of the rooms were very small as compared to the pictures.
• Wighton (9/5): Loved it - Great location and friendly staff A plug for the sink would have been handy
• Paula (7/5): Good - Quiet. Staff very nice. Few fixtures here and there needed. Eg. Half flush button missing, exhaust in bathroom missing a screw. A smudge here or there, but overall clean. Could do with a few extra pots and pans
• Warintr (10/5): Exceptional -
• Asghar (10/5): Exceptional -
• Dilip (10/5): Exceptional - Villas come with kitchen. The kitchen space was clean, spacious, and perfect for preparing quick meals. I had a great experience and would definitely book again for my next visit. Booking.com website shows got two ensuite however family villas got just one.
• Annabelle (8/5): Very good - Well appointed self contained accommodation. Lovely, quiet location close to the city centre. Good communication and friendly team.
• Anne (10/5): Exceptional -
• Akalyaa (7/5): Good -
• Rowenna (10/5): It was really enjoyable, well maintained and clean facilities. Great location and very friendly staff. Made our stay in - Very clean and well maintained rooms that very stocked well with extra blankets and towels. Good location, just a short drive to the Parliament House and the city center. The staff we’re very friendly and welcoming I didn’t get their names but the lady that welcomed us and the guy that was there when we checked out were both so lovely. They gave us little booklets with things to do that was so helpful and made our trip so enjoyable cause we had so much on our to do list. I would’ve liked if the car park spots were marked a little more obvious to show what cabin they belonged to as on our last day we had an unpleasant experience with someone taking our parking spot and being quiet rude about it even though the car spot was big enough for 2 cars. That’s not a big deal though, some people don’t seem to have basic common sense or manners.
• Matt (7/5): Good -
• Ganga (10/5): Exceptional -
• Bilge (8/5): Very good - Some of the beds had memory foam mattresses that weren't too comfortable but weren't too horribly uncomfortable either and decent for the price we paid.

The Accomodation responded to our request to check in after hours very promptly and the check-in was super smooth. Nothing, it was perfect as we needed a stopover for the night was super clean and ready with the air conditioning going. We were able to go straight to bed.
• William (10/5): - Love this place for a family, plenty of room for the kids and nice quiet environment to sit on the balcony at night. Also love the birds all visiting of the morning.

• Tnc (6/5): Needs a lot of Maintenance - The location is quiet and parking is easy. All curtains were extremely dirty. Toilet cistern bent out of shape. Needs a lot of maintenance to be near worth what is charged.
