Very good room with kitchen every thing you need to be self contained , very nice spacious room , think it was a family room even though I was single person
Vincent, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Everything we could want in a self contained unit. Loads of storage. Foxtel. Lounge dining. Big bathroom. And quiet even though it’s on the main road.
Trudy, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The owners were nice. Parts of the property are very run down, but some rooms have been renovated nicely. I had several problems at checkin, all resolved except for non-functional internet. The owners had just had new wifi equipment installed a day or two previously and it was not working. This issue was apparently resolved on the last day of my 4-day stay, but I was able to use a hotspot in the interim, so wasn't greatly inconvenienced.
Stephen, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

Very clean, and overall the place felt significantly higher value than your average unit of the same style and price range. The facility seems very well kept. Parking space right next to the front door, spacious doors, great showers with fantastic water pressure. The only downside was the noise from the highway that was close to unbearable and went on more or less all night. We stayed in one of the units closest to it, so it's possible the average experience might not be as rough. Curtains also leaked a lot of light in. If you're a rough sleeper, I'd be a bit wary. In every other sense this place is a gem.

10/10 Exceptional

We (2 adults 2 kids) stayed 6 nights in a family room. We were greeted by the owner on check on and the service from all staff we encountered was impeccable. We were given great advice on things to do in the area. The room was exactly as advertised. Aircon in the main room and the 2nd bedroom was a welcome relief for us “southerners”. Bathroom was clean and modern. Beds were really comfortable. The kitchenette had all we needed to make our own meals, including post and pans, stove top, microwave and convection oven. The playground structure is a bit dated and worn but the kids still had a ball running around in the enclosed grassed area. The saltwater pool had plenty of seating and a large shade cover over most of the shallow end. Even though it’s on a main road we were in an apartment at the rear of the property and it was quiet. The other guests were mainly workers but were friendly. Close to supermarkets, and a short drive to the shopping centre and lagoon. We would definitely choose to stay here again!

Die Einrichtungen sind in die Jahre gekommen. Kontrolle der Sauberkeit bei Geschirr nach der Erwartung dass die Gäste es putzen sollten, sollte verbessert werden. Im Schrank waren Tasse und Teller die nicht richtig abgespült worden sind.

1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Good location, in easy walking distance of a supermarket and places to buy dinner. Older unit, but very spacious with a FULL sized fridge, this being one of the reasons I chose here. A table as well as an office desk with a power point for the laptop. Kitchen sink. Nice shower. Roomy bathroom and shower recess. Bathroom lacks bench space. Comfortable bed, but the pillows were on the hard side. The lights could do with brighter bulbs. Out the back of the rooms is a handy clothesline. I would stay here again. Friendly owners.

The property is old however clean and tidy. Problems for attended to promptly. Very roomy and plenty space for everything. Better than some tourist units we have been in.
Wayne, 3-night trip

4/10 Fair

The photos advertised at this property did not describe the apartment I was supposed to receive on my booking. We managed with the 2 bedroom motel room accomodation and small kitchen, but overall the stay was very disappointing. The grounds certainly need tidying up and the pool area was definately a disgrace with broken pavers and pool furniture. We would not be coming back to this accomodation.

Weekend away!
Quick check-in with great service and very helpful and accommodating staff. I would highly recommend staying at Rover Holiday Units. Self-contained accommodation, with spacious living area and rooms. Close proximity to shopping centre, shops, pubs, servo etc. Very convenient. Reasonable prices.
