Room was very clean and well appointed.
Venue is COVIDSafe - contactless check in. Daily housekeeping is suspended at the moment but fresh linen (towels) is left outside our room each day. Reception advised if we wish a room service during our visit then we can just request it.
The hotel is in a very handy location - 5 min walk to beach, 10 mins to Crown street with lots of restaurants a short stroll away.
We ate on the 1st floor bistro which was also excellent.
Staff friendly & professional.
We would absolutely stay here again.
We were in a 1 bedroom Ocean view. Wld have been nice to sit out & admire said view, but no outdoor furniture..wt!!
Furniture in apt has seen better days.
Positive note: Place was pretty clean just the cups needed an extra clean by us, good drying towels & plenty of blankets & pillows.
There is a free laundry of washer & dryer which surprised, just have to pay for the laundry detergent. Oh & joy of joys a very clean iron
Dinner in Golf club was very good
The restaurant has an excellent menu backed up with great food at a reasonable price.



Absolutely loved my spacious room that overlooked the golf course and ocean. It was clean and comfortable. What a view!
Loved the staff. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. They made me feel just like I was at home!
Had several meals and drinks in the restaurant and bars. The service and food were excellent.
Most fun was getting in three rounds of golf. The pro shop team made the entire process of renting clubs and getting on the course painless and easy. I enjoyed playing with some of the members who took me in and let me play along.
The entire experience exceeded all of my expectations!
We stayed in a top floor suite.
Room was very comfortable and very clean. Staff were wonderful.
Issue with the cost of the room was small but important for the cost of the room. No TV in the bedroom and single spilt system air con for the whole room. It sounds petty but at the cost of the room I assumed the bedroom would have a TV and a separate air con. Issue with a single air con is that your choice is a too warm night before bed and a good sleep or a pleasant evening and a cold night.
Room had 1 bedroom for couples and I assumed that it would include a TV. The TV in the lounge room was very small. Again it sounds petty but for the money and being 2023 I would have expected more.
Staff at the hotel were nothing but wonderful, the food at the restaurant on level 1 was sensational (eat there 2 nights) only thing that stopped 5 stars was the appointment of the room.
Ocean view was wonderful

Really large room with a sliding door leading on to a large balcony. Floor to ceiling window and I recommend paying extra for ocean view room, which overlooks the seafront and golf course… worth every dollar. Reasonable, but not overly memorable, food at either the large bar area or full restaurant on the 1st floor. Quiet, clean welcoming, efficient staff.
The only downsides were lack of a/c in bedroom. The room could also use some furniture on the amazing balcony. Close to shops and the stadium. An easy walk to, and along, the beach if that’s what ya fancy. I fully recommend it!
"Parking is in a normal club car park. Great if you have a big car, but it is exposed and accessible to anyone walking past during the night "Read full review
"Plenty of free parking outside the hotel, which is an easy walk to the city & great restaurants along the beach"Read full review
