Guest reviews

The single pod was ideal for me. It had what I value ... clean (pristine actually), safe and quiet. It was reasonably priced in the area I needed. The main hotel was typical two story U shaped around a central pool. Very kid friendly with nearby playground. So lots of noisy, rude teens racing between rooms. But the lovely single pod was up a hill and across a meadow. Away from the maddening crowd. It has all you need: bed, desk, chair, microwave, refer, kettle, toaster. Cups, etc Hot water was plentiful. If you don’t spot what you need (a bath towel) poke around in cabinets. The space is small and they had to be hidden. No place to hang clothes. WiFi was strong a (except a short while when the maddening crowd arrived) and the bed comfortable. There is mini-split(?) that both heats and cools. Be prepared for them to want $100 cash bond or a copy of your debit card details The reception has limited hours. I had to leave early and the key card could be dropped in a slot.

The best bed I have slept in away from home.

Having to walk past the bar to get to my room was weird as I was there visiting family so came back late at night and found that a bit weird. But the room was lovely and comfortable.

The location, proximity to many areas, Sky TV, room that opened onto pool, ease of parking.

Despite some minor maintenance requirements, value for money.
