Traveled with family
Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Our room was very average and basic given the extremely high cost of it - family room almost $800 for one night - no view or balcony, nothing fancy at all. We had a water leak on the carpet between the bathroom and main bed and all of my bags got wet meaning my clothing and diary also got soaked. The only compensation was to take off the $30 fee for one car parking (we had 2 cars). My diary and other paperwork was ruined and my clothes need dry cleaning which both cost a lot more than $30. Won’t be staying again.

Great. Unfortunately the 1x lift wasn’t working and we were there for laneway festival (as was the majority of the modeling feel). And there are no stairs options to ease the bottle neck. But that’s a first world problem. Fantastic place
