The property was close to the beach and shopping centre. 80s Decor has not been modernized and kitchen floor was filthy. When I walked into the room, there was a musty smell, and when I asked for a umbrella, I was told to go to town and buy one. There is no aircon in the room.

We enjoyed all the facilities at the resort. The pool area was lovely and clean. The 2 sized tennis courts were also fun to use.
The early closing time of reception (5pm) and any bookings was unexpected. However the late check in arrangements were well set up.

Disappointing

Unfortunately we were incredibly disappointed with this resort. The room was in desperate need of renovations, with cupboard doors hanging off, mouldy grout in the bathroom and old, stained furniture. The beds were reasonably comfortable but considering it was sold to us as a 2 bedroom room for 6 people, you would think we would have had enough furniture to all sit at the same time.
The staff were unhelpful at best and in one case, just plain rude. Perhaps in need of training in HOSPITALITY.
Although we were led to believe that there were 2 pools, we discovered after checking in that we were only able to access one of them, although the people staying in the other block could use both (not sure why)
This place was overpriced and a bit depressing.
Disappointing end to a wonderful Tasmanian holiday.

Clean and spacious

We thoroughly enjoyed our two day stay. First night in 2 bedroom apartment we had 6 adults and a baby. Cot was arranged and high chair also offered which was handy. The room with a single bunk and a single bed had so much floor space we could have fitted another rollaway bed and not used the sofa bed at all (in retrospect).

Great to have the facilities of the bistro and pools so close and lovely having windows and outdoor space looking over the golf course. Not as private or safe for toddler as a balcony (we were downstairs) but much more roomy..

The one negative would be that the walls between the units are not sound proof. From our bedrooms we could pretty much hear every word of the people in the adjoining apartment.. fortunately they didn't stay up too much later and we had an end apartment so only an issue on one side.

Comfortable but needs upgrading!

Four adults in a 2 bedroom apartment. Balcony overlooking golf course was great.
No air-conditioning so had to go to reception for a fan. When the one & half toilet rolls ran out we asked for more but were told we would have to buy them. Room information book needs updating as we went to use the pool but times on the pool gate are different to the book which is what most guests would read first. Overall good stay but these few incidents marred our stay slightly.

Not Really a \"Resort\"

Website states the \"resort\" overlooks a golf course, we were overlooking a supermarket car park which was really disappointing. There are 2 indoor pools onsite and one was closed for repairs (since October apparently). This meant the other pool was overcrowded which was also disappointing.

Terrible

Dirty, outdated room. No air conditioning. As soon as we opened the door to the apartment all we could smell was stale alcohol.
Rang reception to advise & we were told someone would come with a plug in air freshener - but it would take 3 hours as no one from maintenance was available! What pathetic service - any other hotel would send someone from reception!
The room wasn't cleaned properly, there was layers of grease & dust all over the appliances. The TOILET was still dirty. The towels were so old a couple had holes in them & they were so rough!
The balcony was unusable due to water leaking down from the balcony above us - you could see in the structural beams that they were starting to rot away from water leakage.
Reception not available after 5pm, pretty disappointing when you have problems and need to get in touch with them.
Definitely not worth the money, it may have some facilities similar to a proper resort but the state of the room & indifferent attitude of staff are massive turn offs. Just a run down hotel really.

Very disappointing experience. Power tripped so we had no lighting. This was fixed, we went out for the day and came back late to find we had no power at all. We couldn't raise anyone at reception or anyone else at all until 8.00am the next morning to fix the problem. No effort from staff to make any offers as an apology or the like. No room service for the 3 days we were there so had to go and get toilet rolls from reception. Shower water went hot and cold during all showers for no reason. Dangerous when it went to hot only. We were in a room that when it was raining the drips were coming down on a plastic ledge that made a continual noise all night which interrupted our sleep. Certainly wouldn't recommend this place to anyone else. No effort other than from the maintenance man to see how we were going after our problems and nothing said when we checked out. Gary
