Room was a bit dated but very clean and spacious. It had everything I needed including a great spa and a very comfortable bed. If I’d stayed more than one night I would have made use of the fridge, microwave and small kitchen. Very convenient location and friendly, easy checkin/checkout experience. Would definitely return.

The property was acceptable. The car parking situation was poor as oversized trees have made parking spaces unusable with raised surfaces of bitumen (30cm) at edge of space rendering it unusable. Other tenants cars are parked in available spots leaving the last with nowhere to park. I arrived back from working at 11pm, too late to advise reception & therefore left without accessible onsite parking.
