Great central location with friendly staff. The standard rooms are big and spacious. The bathroom was huge. For the price is great value for money for a few nights stay, perfect for my toddler and I. Heat pump was great and warmed up the rooms on a winters day. The curtain closed make the room nice and dark so that’s a win trying to do nap time with a little one. People would say it’s far away from the centre but everything is so close it’s really not far at all. My toddler loved that there were cows out the front on a neighbouring property.

Bedside plugs are a little worn as they are attached to the bedside lamps. Then reaching behind the lamps to get the plug there it looks like it hasn’t been dusted in a while. Bathroom was huge but not a lot of shelving or hooks to store items.

I have just spent two nights at the retreat. Greeted by well present young man that kindly ran through my booking, I really appreciated the upgrade. The room as soon as I walked in smelt beautiful, was warm and well presented. Very spacious for one person loved it. I had veiw out to paddock where on the first night found cows across the way entertaining. The bed was awesome, soft, roomy and kept me warm - extra blankets supplied if you like me and just like have heaps of blankets on bed to throw off in the night lol I had an enjoyable time there not far to travel into town to enjoy thermals too. Peaceful at night. Thank you so much for the accommodation, to me money well spent and enjoyed! I will be back :)

That I didn't book for longer lol

Family of 4 stayed (2 little kids) in one bedroom premier. Size of the unit was spacious and met our needs. Loved super big bathroom with spa bath. Everything was clean. Liked breakfast option which was $15 per adult, having said that there are not many selections available, as it's only continental breakfast at Five Stags next door - but did the job, restaurant had great cozy environment and the food was nice. Great value for money also! Would definitely come back.

no hob in the kitchenette. Sink, small fridge, plates, cups, utensils were all there, but no hob.

Easy to find Clean Quick check in Family friendly

Upstairs room despite travelling with two young children and smokers allowed right outside of our room. Which was very unpleasant and disgusting.

I loved the massive comfy bed. The shower had lovely pressure. Breakfast was delicious. Staff were very friendly and helpful assisting with late check in for us and we were very thankful to arrive to a well lit and warm room. The beds were made nicely and the linen was all soft and clean. Very quiet room in a great location for us to wander to breakfast easily. Parking was super easy to find and plentiful.

Overall the room/facilities were amazing and very well cleaned however the area behind the bedside tables where we go to plug in our phone chargers (the sockets in the lamps didn't work) could do with being checked for dust/hair build up more regularly. This wasn't enough to ruin anything for us and generally isn't a big complaint, just an area that could be improved.

Heat pump in room, could blast this in the cold winter nights! Came with amenities, cutlery and dishes. Staff were super friendly! Booking com said check in was 3pm - 1030pm, but actually their reception closed at 630pm. Initially quite the shock, but the hotel did email us with how to access the room, their phones are also available for after hour inquiries. Right by the mini golf and maze.

It's a little dated, and slightly further down from the township.

Very clean and comfortable motel room, with everything you need for a few nights stay. It felt like the rooms had been recently modernised and were very spacious. There were lots of thoughtful touches from the owners such as a selection of teas and coffee, plus biscuits. Sky TV a bonus. The location was great just a short walk into town. The staff were very friendly and hospitable. We also had a meal in the Five Stags restaurant attached which was very good, highly recommended.

Nothing.

Only this; on the morning we were due to check out we had NO hot water for showers. Very disappointing as everything else had been great. I mentioned this to the manager only to be told ‘We are sorry, would you like to use a different rooms shower’. My answer naturally was NO? That was weird and disappointing. We had been looking forward to the shower before our day of driving. We paid for a room that ended not having hot water. Its puts a dampener on let’s colleagues know of the place.

We had a lovely upstairs unit with a huge bathroom. The views of the mountains were spectacular and the unit was well-equipped and very cosy with a heat pump.

We weren't very impressed by the breakfast. It was delivered to our room on a tray and consisted of a box of ricies with milk, a carton of juice (plus a tea bag and dehy coffee) and two very thin slices of bread (one of which was a crust in each of our trays), two very sweet chocolate mini muffins and an apple. We would have loved some more hearty cereal (muesli or weetbix) and some yoghurt with some decent toast sliced bread rather than the chocolate chip mini muffins. We did love the apartment and service though so will definitely be back but will bring our own breakfasts.

I loved that the staff were extremely helpful and considerate, given that I made a few mistakes organising my booking, the bed was so comfortable i did not want to get out of it, the room was very crisp, clean and spacious, as was the bathroom, with a spa bath, the restaurant meal was superb - I had the salmon. The complimentary hot cooked breakfast was also excellently cooked, I had scrambled eggs, bacon, grilled tomatoes, baked beans, yoghurt, raisen bread, apple juice, and earl grey tea. There were also sausages, hash browns, and croissants, with a variety of cereal and fresh fruit. The decor and ambience in the restaurant and bar were very relaxing and tastefull, and attention was given to details. The view was awesome. The hot springs complex was walking distance, with a little book swap booth for the public in a converted phone booth, very cute.

There was nothing I didn't like
