very Nice Place to stay
Our suite was extremely comfortable and well equipped except for the TV. They do not provide too many channels to watch or offer the ability to use your own Netflix. The walls are paper thin. We could hear the people across the hall from us as if they were in the hall right outside our door. The Reception area leaves a lot to be desired. Just a emply room when you walk in the front door with some stuff being stored in the corners. You check in thru the Pro shop. Very low class for a place that seems to be trying to promote 5* resort.

This is a nice place to stay at near Sydney. Very quiet with comfortable rooms and accomodating staff. The restaurant is exceptional. Breakfast options at the golf course are good but limited.

Front desk person said I did not book through her instead by another third party so she could not give me a receipt, terrible , I do NOT have a computer or no printer , even give me a piece of paper ! And in the restaurant the staff was more interested in their texting on phone rather then helping us with a table !

The Golf Course makes for a beautiful backdrop to the stay. MacPherson House was a bit too warm upstairs, so we switched to one of the chalet's which was great.

Very Poorly Run
We arrived and the room was very cold - A/C was broken and would not turn down - we went to the front desk and they agreed A/C was broken and would send maintenance over to look at it. We went to dinner and when we got back room was very warm - no follow-up from front desk - no visit from maintenance - room was sooo hot we couldn’t stay the night and left - have asked for a full refund of our stay

We didn’t come for the golf, which is probably why most people stay at Ben Eoin. Without that attraction, the ‘resort’ really offers very little. No pool, gym, spa, walking trails - nothing. The room is huge, but lacks modern convenience. It’s not possible to access streaming services on TV so you are stuck with the regular cable offerings. The door has a key lock which was extremely temperamental to open. Bathroom supplies were limited to shards of soap and four tiny shampoo bottles. We didn’t get coffee for the first night, etc etc. To be considered a top quality resort property, Ben Eion needs to step up its game - oh, and tell the Golf Pro to stop leaving his Corvette on the turn around! He’s not that special!

The McPherson house does not have air conditioning on the second floor, though there's one on the ground floor.
