    It needs a bit of TLC to get it up to standard with many areas very dated and in need of repairs and maintenance.

    In a good location

    Was only there for a quick stay but couldn't fault anything.. if I was picky the bathroom needed an upgrade to match the rest of the room and resort.. but the shower had great pressure so can't really complain..

    All staff were friendly and rooms were clean and comfortable and the restaurant food was beautiful

    When we arrived (later than we would like to due to 45 min delay in traffic, unforseen, the lady that took the orders for food was very rude and unpleasant the way she made us feel. We did not feel welcome at all and took some our food up to the room. Our TV did not work and we had somebody fixed it in the morning. The hand towel had oil marks on.

    Beauiful resort and most of the staff were very helpfull and friedly

    Not the fault of the property but we had really loud neighbours who partied into the night with singing and slamming doors into the early hours of the morning. Due to weather there were a lot of tiny cockroaches in our room.

    Clean and well presented room. The casual dubbing was good fit a quick meal. A good stop for the night to break up a long trip.

    It's a bit dated as a hotel, but it's very nice.

    Front reception were lovely, room was clean except for a hair on the bed (which, granted, could have been mine), everyone was nice and the whole vibe of the place was pleasant. Giant chess board, pool, 90's arcade were all great. Restaurant served delicious food. Shower pressure was awesome.

    If driving be aware of roadworks going on and ask hotel prior to arrival for directions. Roadworks are noticeable at all beyond driveway entrance. Requires an update, especially bathrooms (grouting).

    Staff are consistently good and professional, warm greetings and efficient. Location is convenient from both Brisbane and Sydney. The beach feels very private, is clean and perfect views. Child friendly, however, good for single &/or non-child travellers.

    Nothing this trip but a week later - I’d stayed again. Here is the necessary feedback when I checked out on 24/5. Normally great staff but this morning manager was banging on my door because I missed 10am checkout. I checked in very late and just driven through Taree flood waters that evening. The hotel looked quiet when I awoke, quickly showered and left. The manager was grumpy to me when I finally answered the door - not hearing the banging or phone from the shower noise. We all have jobs to do and timelines to manage - but without customers that manager would be unemployed. I didn’t respond and assumed her family had been affected by floods also.

    Location and renovated room. The duty manager at checkin was also energetic, helpful and bubbly
