Disappointing

Floors were still wet after mopping when we arrived at 3pm, sticky feet for kids. Room ok but no grab rail from basic slippy shower, high step. Continental breakfast was the worst I've come across despite my travels on a budget in Eastern Europe.

We have stayed at this property several times before and we are never disappointed. Staff are always friendly and helpful. Rooms are comfortable and clean. The only suggestion is to have a pillow menu as the pillows were too hard and too high.

Wedding anniversary weekend with our kids. There was space for them to run around and even kick a soccer ball around. The boys made friends with another boy when playing soccer. The grounds are beautiful. The weather was amazing. Would have been lovely to have dinner there too. The included breakfast was perfect.

Beautiful grounds and room layout, only problem was with the water pipes in the ceiling having a water hammer issue and we were awoken at 6:30am by the sound of banging pipes because another person was having a shower. The town Malanda is lovely, the Pub is a must for dinner.
