Golfing trip

1.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 30 Dec 2023
The room was dark and dated, the water came out orange in the bath tub. in the bathroom the bath coating is pealing away. There is no aircon only a floor fan which was full of dust, room was muggy. We won't be back.

The room was old and tired and looks like was built in the 1970s and hasn't been renovated since. Minimal amenities. There was a spider web holding up the lamp in the corner. Could use a spruce up and a good clean.

Medieval level lighting
Bathroom like a rainforest
Decor of a retro adult movie set.
Had a pretty good sleep though, so that was nice.
Probably suit a last minute booking like we did for some where to sleep, just bring some reef shoes for the bathroom.

Thought being part of the Distinction Group this would be a nice hotel, it was exactly the opposite.
the heater comes on for a minute and then turns off for 10 so doesn’t warm the room, and when it does come on it sounds like a small plane. You have to have it on over night as the room is so cold but every time it comes on it wakes you up.
The bedding is so thin you cant warm your bed, so you have to get up after an hour of trying to put an additional blanket on.
The lighting is inadequate and with both them on still looks dark.
The chairs in the room are uncomfortable with the desk chair having a bar that cut into he bottom of your thighs.
In short a very uncomfortable outdated hotel that I won’t be returning to and will be telling all my fellow travellers to avoid

Room tip: Don’t stay here

I did stay at this Hotel over 30 years ago and it is indeed showing it's age. We understand that the owners are progressively updating their properties.
However the room was clean and comfortable and the restaurant/dining room well serviced by dedicated staff. Thanks Chef for one of the best lamb shanks I've had and my wife's salmon was spot on.

This is a tired old place which needs serious attention. It has retained its old worlds vibe but it needs a serious spruce up.
The only good thing I can say is the shower had great pressure. Otherwise the motel room was grubby. Carpet was filthy, curtains ripped and I wouldn’t sit on the couch it was grimy. The bed needs replacing as does the bed covers. Sheets seemed clean.
It has a restaurant which is handy but food was disappointing. Ordered pork belly. A very small piece arrived (nicely cooked) on some shredded red cabbage and three small pieces of Broccoli with a bit of jus. $36. No carb at all. I was left wanting after spending less than 5 mins eating that morsel. Ordered peach cobbler which was a lazy crumb over a small bowl of believe it or not ‘tinned peaches’ and a small scoop of supermarket ice cream. $16
All in all dissapointing. Will not return.
