Disliked: Amenities
Staff seemed nice. The room was tidy, but all the appliances seemed very dated, the aircon was old and dirty, microwave and dishwasher very old looking, as well as very old TVs, both bedrooms had a small tv which was nice, but only one remote between them. No daily service which was a shame, for me it's part of going away coming back to a cleaned room. Very little tea/coffee supplied, you can go to reception to get more, but Id perfer not to. Balcony was nice, but not at all private.

We absolutely loved this place. So much space for all the family. We stayed in a Deluxe 2 Bedrooms Apartment with 2 bathrooms (could sleep up to adults). The place was very clean. It had a well appointed kitchen, with just about any utensil you would need to cook for your family, kitchen also had a full sized fridge and dishwasher. A small partial view of the lake from the front bedroom and balcony. BBQ facilities available for guests to use. Laundry facilities - free washing machines to use. Need to pay for laundry powder and dryers. Indoor pool and games room was free to use for guests. Very close to main restaurants. The only negatives (which really wasn't) was dragging our heavy suitcases up the one flight of stairs and down again in the rain on departure. Also all the ouside security lights stayed on overnight which we understand was for guests safety, and limited parking space, on one of the days we parked across the road. Plenty of umbrellas to use while it was very rainy. We are looking forward to staying again. Thank you

great stay, very clean and tidy in the rooms. pool and spa were great, would just say that the pool is cleaned in the morning so isn't available at 9am like the sign says. minor detail tho! family of 5 (kids - 11, 7 and 2) and stayed in a one bedroom. was doable, but maybe go for the two bedroom for the space so that you can store luggage etc easily without taking up space in living areas. but it was fine for us really. one notable negative was the car park. info said each unit had a car park, but we often found the car park full on return. so other guests had more than one car. Not a massive one, but maybe a note for the motel to perhaps monitor that somehow overall great stay and we would come up for sure

Great hotel across the street from the lake. Close to the famous airplane McDonald’s, but grocery stores are about a 10 min. walk away. Reception was kind enough to hold my luggage until my room was ready. I would happily stay here again!

The location of this accommodation was good and convenient, which was a positive. However, beyond that, our overall experience was a bit disappointing. We stayed for a full week during the peak xmas season. The pool and spa was one of the reasons we booked for the kids, but after using it once on the first day, it was closed for deep cleaning for the entire week. This was especially disappointing for the kids, and had we known in advance, we would not have chosen to stay here. Although the website advertised daily servicing, this did not occur during our stay of 7 days. I asked twice and was told staff were short, and that we had been added to the cleaning list, but no service ever took place. That said, staff did provide everything we requested each time, towels and supplies, which we appreciated. For longer stays, daily servicing is important to keep rooms clean and tidy. If we were to stay again, I would make sure to request daily servicing regardless. However, due to the issues experienced during this stay, we may not choose to return.
