Water issues

We were really looking forward to a quiet night away. The staff did their best to help but there were several issues they were unable to resolve and so we had to buy all our water from the vending machine downstairs overnight, and due to staff activities we were not able to enjoy a quiet breakfast which carried an additional charge. Overall we were disappointed as we felt our stay was hampered by additional costs and challenges despite the hard working staff

My partner and I stayed at the Macquarie 4 Star (locals referred to it as 'The Club') for one night in room 007. Access to the property, parking, and check-in was very easy. There wasn't much to do at check-in other than receive the key cards, give them my contact details, and choose whether we wanted to pre-book the buffet breakfast (not included with room, additional $20pp if pre-booked or $25pp if you show up unannounced). I was a bit miffed at the venue for charging my card a few days prior to check-in using my card that was on file with Expedia. I had assumed my payment details were only saved for transactions handled directly by Expedia. The room was clean and orderly. They still had to deliver fresh towels to the room despite us checking in at 3pm. TV was definitely bigger than in the photos, but I didn't use it much (not a fan of the Vucaster solution for streaming to it from my phone). If you do use it there's a selection of Foxtel channels and on-demand movies. The bathroom was really nice. Loved the double shower and spa bath. There was unfortunately a lack of power points near the bed. There was two, and I had to unplug the landline phone to use one of them. After plugging in our CPAPs we had to plug in chargers for our phones and watches near the TV. Was a little annoying, but it taught me that I need to start bringing a travel power board with me in the car as a just-in-case last resort. The buffet breakfast was very good. I do recommend it.

The hotel was right on the river at the rear of the Macquarie Club, but well away from the club itself. Everything was spacious and comfortable.
