This hotel looks like it's been recently renovated and feels like it's making an effort to retain guests. Smallish but comfortable room in a low-rise setting, well appointed, private outlook and with good climate control. Nice restaurant - try the chef's 'butter chicken' special (if you like that kind of thing - not too buttery). Sumptuous breakfast, included in low-season room rate of $A164, was an unexpected pleasure. All in all, a big thumbs-up from me.
PS. Don't bother with the airport transfer service (outsourced to StarBus). Arrived a half hour late and not even an apology. Grrrrr.

Thank you for your review.
Great to hear you enjoyed your stay with us, and noticed we are doing a lot of work around the building to keep looking fresh and inviting. There is more on the way with new carpeting in the restaurant/bar/lounge area and conference rooms being laid right now, and new restaurant / foyer furniture expected soon.
We try hard to keep the menu exciting (and delicious!) and update a few times yearly, and aim to provide excellent value for money, glad we hit the mark!
I am disappointed to hear you had trouble with your airport transfer booking. Star bus are usually excellent however I will pass on your feedback. We are fortunate that our location means we are last to pick up on their route to the airport, and first to drop off on the way into town, so you avoid stopping at all the other points along the way - effectively a direct transfer. Of course thats not much comfort if they are late, hopefully that was a one off from them.
Hopefully we can welcome you back soon when all the updates are done (in time for the Tennis!)
