8/10 Good
"We had an enjoyable stay in the two bedroom lagoon room. It was spacious, with very comfortable beds and pillows, and the kitchen was well equipped, including a full size fridge. Having direct access to the pool was a great bonus. Secure parking was included, which made things even more convenient. We really enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back. The only drawback was there was no washer and dryer in the room, but there were laundry facilities on site."

10/10 Excellent
"Love the location just by the beach, a nice hotel across the road to watch the footy, have a meal and a drink, the sports facilities nearby where we played Pickleball with the locals, the heated pool was the highlight of our wintery trip. Parking was plentiful and easy access. Price was reasonable and the cabin was comfortable for my family of 4 , 2 adults and two teenagers. Kitchen was fully equipped to cook at least a meal a day."
