From the extremely lovely welcome to complimentary soft drink, this place is great. It is a quality place, spacious, clean and with cooking facilities. It actually had a comfortable arm chair and table and chairs to sit at. A very large TV, comfortable bed. We loved everything about it. A bit warmer and we could have had a swim in the lovely pool area.
The Property phoned me about my check-in, informed them I will be arriving after 9 pm, arranged to have key in the secure night box. All good. Pleased that property called me about my check-in

Booked a room with a Queen bed but on arrival I got a room with 3 single beds! I was travelling for business so was extremely disappointed.
Kim was a wonderful host and ever so helpful and friendly. Will not hesitate to stop over on next trip. It’s a handy location and the takeaway Kim recommend was excellent!!
Our room was perfectly clean. The staff were all so friendly and helpful.
My only disappointment was when looking on the website to book I did choose this property thinking the water park pictured was a part of the hotel but unfortunately it's not which I found a little deceiving. We did cool off in the lovely pool though.
This property was really great and we would definitely stay again. Nice big room which was really clean and tidy. The staff at reception were so friendly. And they have an amazing outdoor pool area which we loved.
