Very cute property with ample parking and spacious modern rooms with a big shower, plenty of storage space for bags etc, and a comfy queen bed (we stayed in a Queen Terrace room). Staff were very helpful arranging a late check in. Facilities looked great but we were just passing through on a road trip so didn’t get to use any - will definitely like to stay longer another time.

Good stopover point between Sydney and Gold Coast. We stayed in a pet friendly family room. Enough space for all of us to spend the night and appreciated the dog bowl for water. Parking was convenient and good - located just outside room. Room was kept relatively clean. Close to the river so a nice stroll can be had in morning and some good cafes nearby.

The room was good. Clean. Large with doors that led to a nice little balcony type area with a view of a pond. The spa worked but the sauna is smelly and an old. Dining wasn’t available because of a function. I missed the breakfast because it isn’t available until 8am on Sundays. Overall it’s a good stay.
