It is a good location. Shutters only on sliding doors so very bright. Spa was cold. No real coffee at breakfast, just awful nescafe sachets. No channel 7 on our tv. Was told well everyone else seems to have it so can't help. No offer to check it out. Sliding door sticks and noisy. Grounds and pool were nice. Has potential

Food Review
I ordered in room dining and the lamb shank and the wings I ordered was just trash Braised lamb tasted like steamed lamb with the fresh meat smell to it and the none of the food was seasoned properly. I paid for it but I just didn’t eat them and left it in the fridge

Quiet, clean plenty of space in the rooms. Restaurant for breakfast had plenty of options and definitely recommend the eggs benny. Only draw back is not having designated parking for the rooms, and had to park on the street.
