We had booked a room for 3 adults and 1 child one month prior to our stay, when we arrive we were told that the room didn't have enough beds for us all and that there were no more rooms available, my adult daughter had to sleep on pillows on the floor (We were discounted $10 for the mix up)....

We booked 9 rooms for the triathlon weekend and it was just what we need. Accom was basic but clean, food was cheap at the pub $10 meals. Right in the heart of town. The price for the room was thumbs up

There was a half smoked cigarette... More
