- Yazeed (6/5): It's okay - It was a place to sleep. It's basically a bunch of rooms that's been built little granny flats in someone's yard. I, perhaps mistakenly, thought that the rooms were inside the big house itself.

We had a wonderful one-night stay at McAllisters. The staff were incredibly patient, friendly, and welcoming. Our room was neat, modern, and spotless — just perfect for a relaxing night.
What really stood out was the level of care and attention to our safety. When we ordered an Uber to go out, the property security guard kindly walked with us to ensure we got in safely. On our return, he was there again to escort us back to our apartment and made sure we were safely inside.
Check-in and check-out were quick and seamless, and we felt completely secure throughout our stay. We’ll definitely be booking again!

However,
- Wifi connection was not the best in the room
- Can do better with newer bathroom mats and better quality toilet paper.
- Room walls to thin

- gail (10/5): - Cleanilness... comfortable all round. Beautiful and neat
- Nadine (8/5): - There should be a B&B option - as the portion of the breakfast is a bit small yet the mini snack buffet set up is real cute.
- Imraan (10/5): Very good - Stay was good. Shower 🚿 head needs some attention. Leaking. Mattress needs to be changed slowly caving in in the centre. Sleeper couch mattress is horrendous. Sleeper couch was grubby. Needs a good clean. Overall the place was spotlessly clean. Came across 1 cockroach. Pool was good.
Cleaning staff and security are very pleasant. Front desk not sufficiently manned.
- Imraan (8/5): My stay - Staff were very friendly. The bath mat was very grubby. Carpet in the room is very stained and the throw on the bed didn't appear to be very clean. Also the 1 cushion was extremely grubby.
- Imraan (10/5): Excellent! - Our stay was amazing. Room was ready early and was spotlessly clean. Staff were helpful and friendly. Will definitely stay here again
- William (8/5): Great location on Florida Road - Great location and easy to find everything we needed nearby.
