Guest Reviews
- ken (8/5): enjoyable - location good , quiet, staff always smiling and helpful ,meals good, kids enjoyed the stay. thanks. cannot think of anything
- Karen (1/5): - Bed was comfortable and location only. The room had holes in the wall,a screw sticking out of the bedhead near the pillow, mould in the shower. ants, leaking basin tap and loose, burn marks in ceiling from someone cooking. Note manager knew about the burns as I thought it was mildew! Never to return and will be posting bad reviews. Stayed 2 nights only and did not receive full compensation for departing one night earlier. Not a happy experience.
- Juliet (9/5): Overall Excellent ,good and convenient to shops - Well located and convenient and quit , very central and closed to the shops No comments
- Caleb (8/5): -
- Guest (5/5): -
- Alpa (8/5): It was good location, propert was spacious as well. - The location The property had only one sink, which made to think about hygiene as anything , washing hands, brushing , in one sink and washing vessels as well.
I would prefer different sink for to brushing and washing.

- Ly (7/5): -
- Patrick (6/5): Always good to have time away together. - Bottom sheet on the bed was stained, mirror and windows need a clean, but apart from these cosmetic items, the room was as good as we remember. We first stayed there in 1979 and have now been back twice. See above.
- Sally (5/5): - Location close to amenities Building and gardens looked old and uncared for. A lawnmower might be a good investment!
- Nadia (10/5): Warm comfort - Conveniently located on the esplanade & a short walk to the cafes, pub & shops. Could not hear any traffic. Parking spot in front of room. Keyless entry. Room was large enough with all required amenities for a comfortable stay. Had extra pillows. Comfortable bed. Clean crisp linen. Friendly staff. Has a Chinese restaurant on the premises.

Good size tv with local channels. Good Wi-Fi available. Lovely soft towels provided. Bathroom was very old with shower over a large non working spa bath which had lots of mould on the tile grouting. It also had a very musty smell. Bed area had sliding door to outside table and chairs which was let down with sheer curtains that were very dirty and torn, also didn’t close properly due to hanging off the rails. Ash tray on outside table was dirty with cigarette ash and ground area needed a good clean

- Upi (5/5): Clean , comfortable and affordable - Basic facilities . Location was great. Facing the lake.
Near all the restaurants in the main strip and good walking tracks.
Clean and comfortable for a short stay, Adequate for a short stay
- Alison (8/5): Our stay was pleasant and comfortable for one of the more affordable properties that we searched. Will be happy to stay - The location was perfect. Right across from the water and a very short walk to any bars, restaurants and cafes. Staff were very friendly and welcoming. Restaurant on site (which we didn’t use this time because we didn’t realise and got food on our way to accommodation). Our room was right next to the restaurant but noise was minimal. Liked the colour token idea too. The bed was quite creaky to sit down briefly on the end (although it was comfortable to sleep in).
Unfortunately there was a very loud snorer in the room next door that kept me away a bit which the property aren’t to know so that was just bad luck. Room did have a few cobwebs and spiders but I think that can sometimes come with older buildings. Wouldn’t put me off staying again.
- Hock Soon (7/5): Reasonable price room, easy walking to shops, place is clean and can do with some renovations. - Reasonable price. Walking distance to shops and the water. Place is clean and spacious. A bit run down. Bathroom needs an uplift. No breakfast here - need to go out to look for breakfast although it mentioned they have a restaurant on the website. Easy check in.
