Nervous about shared amenities? Don’t be, the bathrooms are spacious, private and spotless, always. The bedroom was on the Small side but one of the most comfortable beds I’ve slept in. We-appointed with desk & TV, it was quiet and peaceful. The kitchen/lounge was well stocked with tea, coffee etc and comfortable to lounge in. Having the bistro and bar downstairs was great, and the Rump steak perfectly cooked. Huge thanks to Marty, Arjun and Julie who were a great laugh and really helpful. Will be back. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/36464172-daac-4d4d-b70c-6ef4e29917c9-1748442605865.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Keith Stayed 7 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kelsea Mar 19, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Absolutely fantastic value ##### Kelsea Stayed 1 night in Mar 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jillian Nov 12, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities All was ok no problem.
