The fact we came for a relaxing time and restful sleep and got anything but, the bed was so uncomfortable would have been better on the floor. Pillows hopeless, bales of hay would have been better. The food from the bar, was over priced and poor quality for what you paid for. Over all very poor establishment, a back yard pub would have been a better option. Very disappointed

What a perfect stay for a young family (kids 4 and 7). We enjoyed the early check in that was available (at 11:30am even though website said generally the rooms were available from 3pm), but we got lucky that a room was vacant). The pool was the perfect temperature, the water park was so much fun for the kids, the cocktails were delicious, and oh my god that buffet for breakfast was incredible!! Thanks for a memorable stay! We are definitely coming back when we return to the Hunter! Very good value for money!

One of our pillows is mouldy. We only realise the morning we woke up and we saw the end of the pillow. The body wash in the shower is empty. My 5yr old daughter burn her ankle in the baby jumping castle when she did her first slide. So she did not get to enjoy much as she had pain on her foot. We did not get to ride the kangaroo tour as it is full. Hope they did at least 5 ride sessions in 1 day knowing it’s a busy time so guests can do most of the things the resort is offering. The carpet is very old hope it get changed. Other than that the food was great.
