Excellent
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travelers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
Booked and paid for the family suite, but only provided with a quad room. Staff not at all interested in remedying the situation (2 night stay). Despite the inconvenience, we also paid more for the family suite.
Agreed to pay at property, but full amount withdrawn prior to arrival.
Shower leaks into main room.
After hours check in process was easy.
Wotif have been helpful.
Lovely stay but check out wasn’t the most pleasant due to us getting a knock before 10am to say we needed to check out and when checking out there was no “thanks for staying” or “hope you had a nice stay” she just took the key

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Relatively quiet location with a view of the bay. Nice ocean breezes. Easy to drive up to and park. I enjoyed all the amenities in the room such as a toaster, microwave, fridge and coffee maker.
However, the carpet was not very clean and one of the pillow cases and duvet had stains on them. There was also not enough hanging hooks in the bathroom. The bathroom would also benefit from a little more counter space. The restaraunt next door was a little noisy at night.
The property was clean and very nicely renovated. It's close to everything Warner's Bay has to offer. The staff were friendly and efficient and the check-in / check-out process was very easy.
Great place to stay. Very clean and modern. Great location with a very short distance to shops and eating options. Will definitely stay again!

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
No compendium and renovations arnt professional. Only milk in the fridge and no information on where to purchase any food. Showeredhead too big for the size of the shower
Looks old style from the outside but very clean, modern and and comfortable units with all conveniences. Handy to lake walks and coffee van. Thought that The Esplanade traffic might be a problem but not so - slept like logs. Stayed two nights but could have happily stayed longer.
