Had a group of drunk aboriginal people screaming and fighting in the next room and in the hallway. Kicking doors and screaming so loud the night staff took over a hour to remove them from the property. I would really suggest giving my money back for my stay.

Great staff & service. Obviously an older property. The area around the pool & the bbq could be freshened up a little. Otherwise the place met our needs & we thank the staff for their hospitality.
