"great for the price would stay again food was great" - Stephen Cran
"The room was clean, but small. The hotel complex was nicely laid out with a good bar and restaurant; one also had the opportunity to cook one's own food. Washing facilities were functional but in need of an upgrade." - Anonymous
"We found this hotel to be very good in all regards and recommend it to others. The restaurant/bar was a vibrant place with good service, our tree house unit was in a superb setting set in the bush with a great deck to relax on, only downer was the weather but you cant win everything lol" - Stuart Holland
"Fairly compact, but all necessary facilities, friendly, courteous staff" - Veronica King
