Having an outside balcony to sit and enjoy the scenery plus relax. Balcony does need some attention though and some repairs to furniture

Walking Proximity to the bowling / sports club where we enjoyed an excellent dinner was also much appreciated.

Don’t waste your money staying here. Had other people’s pubes in the shower, was so noisy. Graffiti scraped into door frames, pen marks all over the mirror, place should be knocked down.
You’d be better off grabbing a two man tent from Kmart and camping.

The owners are lovely people but the rooms themselves were pretty bad they smelt awful an the cleanliness well there wasn’t any the fridge on the inside was gross there was a cookie on the window ledge that had been there long enough I think it belonged in a museum the microwave well I didn’t look inside but the outside was enough for me and the PowerPoints were unsafe as they were hanging out the wall. Such a shame because the owners are very lovely they gave me an additional room due to the online booking not suiting our family.
