Clean and very spacious underground room . I was quite scared but wanted to experience this type of accommodation and didn’t feel claustrophobic as ceilings were very high . Our room was amazing.

Perfect underground rooms were extremely quiet and spacious. Not having a dinner service was disappointing, but John's Pizza Bar directly across the street was an awesome place to eat & drink. Wanted to swim in the pool but was disappointed with the lack of maintenance and cleaning was a let down. Also we were denied take away cans for our rooms but the locals could easily purchase and leave with beverages. Frequent visits from locals into the carpark and building was unchecked and left us feeling unsafe.

We cannot not praise this hotel enough .. The management were lovely & helpful, house keeping staff were exceptional. Our underground room was spacious and beautiful what a great experience. Wifi connection was awesome, the breakfast that we had on two morning was delicious. Location was fantastic and great parking for our van. We have been on the road for 8 months and I have to say this has been the best stay by far I cannot praise it enough. Thank you for your beautiful hospitality and beautiful room wish we could have stayed longer . Jules & Jim WA

The underground rooms are really good value. It’s unique and big enough. Bathroom could be updated but not really a problem. The breakfast menu was great

Disappointing stay. There was no housekeeping service during my stay, and a rubbish bin was placed directly outside my room door. It was overflowing and smelled very bad, which made the situation quite unpleasant. Basic cleanliness and hygiene standards were not met.

The room was motel style with a door directly to the outside. The bed was nice, clean and comfortable. Other than that the room was two stars. Not clean, big stains on the carpet and a really disgusting sink bowl. The staff was friendly.

At 5am they had a faulty fire alarm that went off and didn’t stop for ages. And there was no staff there to get the assistance from. Then another alarm went off in a different building. That wasn’t fun at all.

Our room was not “below Ground” as expected, but dug in to the side of the hill. Yes there is a difference. Although the room was cool and acceptable, it should be mentioned this is a dug out and not a BELOW ground level room. The Pool was closed for our ENTIRE stay, no info given before hand and we chose hotel as it had a pool. Had we known we could have booked alternative place.
