The pool and hot tub were heaven! ! Perfect for our kids while it rained outside. We also enjoyed the waterfront view from our room, really made us feel relaxed after busy days.

It wasn't exactly cheap, but you know, it was still acceptable.

nice pool

It was just a fine choice for a weekend jaunt in Sydney, with good value considering the price charged. The pool was nice with a water slide that the kids loved. Just be aware breakfast isn't included, which adds to the overall cost.

I absolutely loved the breathtaking view from my room and the delicious food at the pub. The pool and hot tub were perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring. Just a heads up, it did get a bit noisy with kids around the pool, but overall, it was a fantastic stay! 😊

Great Views but Needs Improvement

I enjoyed the lovely harbor view from the disability-access room, but the worn carpet made navigating challenging. The staff were polite but could be more attentive. Breakfast could use better service. it took ages to get noticed. A cozy café nearby for a quick bite would be ideal!

We stayed for 2 nights and had a pretty good time! The room was decent, though the bathroom felt like it was stuck in the '90s. Breakfast was included and really nice. The staff at the on-site bar were super friendly, which was awesome. The check-in took way too long tho, and we got the same room as someone else.
