Lovely place to stay parking is terrible. Just because you “book” parking when booking your stay doesn’t mean you will get on site parking.

Check-in was handled quickly and efficiently. Our room was very clean, well appointed, and quiet. Tea, coffee and toiletries were well stocked. Breakfast in the dining area was delicious: hot food and a continental spread - restocked and all areas kept tidy by helpful staff. I can't fault our stay. Thank you for looking after us so well.

Amazing staff. Perfect location for cafes, restaurants & shopping. Buffet breakfast was great! The construction building overlooking the pool was a minor inconvenience, as we didn’t feel comfortable swimming. However, still a great view on that level & a nice area to relax. The hotel parking was full, so we parked around the corner at the park n go. Easy to get to & were advised prior to checking in, so was aware. Overall, will definitely be back again!
