This was my second stay at the hotel. This time, it was difficult to book a buggy tour at our preferred time. The restaurant had a limited variety of food — only lamb meat was available. The jacuzzi in the pool area wasn’t working properly. The room’s air conditioning was very noisy, and the bathroom drainage was poor. There was no microwave or plates available in the room. We also experienced long waiting times at reception, and the free Wi-Fi did not work inside the room.

Very tired, needs life back into the resort considering many people come and play golf there, the resort is terrible. They need more tables and some fans near the golf club bar so you can sit back and enjoy a drink. It was so hot that we didn’t even finish our drinks. The restaurant food was overpriced for what they served out.

Mixed reviews

I read the varying reviews on this hotel and I was a little wary but tbf we had no issues with the place. Yes it’s dated but it sort of goes with the wackiness of it all. Good sleep, decent room with a view, great breakfast and all within a reasonable price. The view from upper rooms are just worthy of * themselves. Don’t be put off by bad reviews the hotel is fine and cheap.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
What a disappointment, a dilapidated, spartan, and a poorly maintained complex. It's as though the maintenance staff are on strike, the water features at ground level have been abandoned and become feotid cess pools and the buildings crumbling. Rooms had no chairs, no coffee table and only one cluttered miniscule bedside table, the fridge near new but hasn't ever been defrosted, the rest of the furnishings very tired and cockroach infested. For a supposed resort, the poor standard of the facilities and attractions, few of which were free I will hasten to add, really did beggar belief. Given it is now Qld school holidays and there were next to no patrons, it felt like a ghost town and we were relieved to depart.

Very dirty dingy. approx 20years too late for this property. itis evident it was once a happening place but now looks to have been left for dead by owners. No bar open at 5pm on a friday as a breastfeeding mum I want food as well which turned into an absolute mission!! the cleanliness of the room was disgusting. toilet basically uncleaned, the rooms smelt musty as heck and mould evident in places. We will not be returning here again.

Our Most Favourite Place

This is one of our most favourite places to get away for a few nights and play on an awesome golf course. Staff are lovely and very accommodating both at the resort and the local pub which is only a 5-minute walk from the resort. Plenty of choices with the buffet breakfast. A place that is close to home, but you really feel as though you are on holiday when staying here.

Hotel has potential but needs better management and staff training. Also misleading information about restaurants and bars. Also big sign at entrance saying forbidden to bring own alcohol as hotel fully licensed. this only workds when the bars/restaurants are open which they are not Sundays to Thursdays.

Location was really nice and beds were very comfortable and well cleaned. The shower curtains however had a little dirt on them and the shower water was irritable on the eyes after some time. The balcony table wasn’t properly cleaned, but staff were really nice and check in and check out was quick and smooth. Overall good place to stay if you are looking for a weekend getaway to play golf or visit the countryside.

Over the Christmas holidays I stayed here with friends from interstate. We were very disappointed from arrival to early departure. The resort has so much potential however is not being advertised accurately. Very misleading. The level of cleanliness in our room was unacceptable, cockroaches, mouldy shower curtain, water that smelled, well, like it was potentially contaminated, the pools were unhygienic to swim in, limited food options and little recognition for our concerns from staff and management were unavailable. I resisted writing a harsh review for weeks but on reflection it had a big impact on our time and finances and overall joy during the holidays. Read the reviews before you book.
