It was closer to the town center than expected. Foreshore is about 400m away, so good for walking exercise. View of the lake with the mountains in the background is fantastic. We had a room with a balcony, slightly obscured by neighbour's roofline, but still enough to enjoy the lake and the mountains. The view, the spa and the secure carpark, for the price, made it 5 stars for me.

Property was clean and tidy. Weird smell in room like spicy ethnic food or similar. Well appointed with the layout. Bathroom and kitchen clean and tidy, beds very comfortable, air conditioning in lounge kept bedroom cool too. Definitely recommend

Could do with some refurb as looking a bit tired, but considering price, good value. Clean and comfortable and easy walk to shops and restaurants.

From the moment we arrived the lady at reception was nothing but extremely helpful and kind. The room was nice exactly as described. Would definitely return and recommend the room with a spa bath and lake views!
