The staff were really welcoming and able to accommodate requests. The room had some issues with lighting (main lights flickered incessantly so we used the table lights only), the bathroom didn't have any storage or shelf for shower products or hooks near the shower for towels a day wash cloths,and the toilet didn't have a lid. The bed was one of the best we experienced along with the pillows. Breakfast was a waste of money, $39pp for hard cold poached eggs, tough bacon and a decent coffee. Save the money and go elsewhere (like the visitor centre).
