Lovely stay
Had a lovely time staying here, the rooms were lovely, bed comfortable and everything clean and tidy. The pool was also well maintained and very nice! The member of staff we spoke with was very nice and accommodating, if we are in the area will definately stay again or at one if the others in the chain.

Room is very very clean though old. Bed was perfectly made, linen is super clean& crisp. Room is of good size for 2. Crockery/ cutlery/ microwave/kettle all there if u need. Dish soap/ hand soap/ bath soap/ shampoo all there too. We made use of the room for just a very short time. We spent the night to avoid driving back to Melbourne after the penguin parade. Dedicated parking lot for each room.
