We had an absolutely exceptional stay at this hotel and can confidently say it exceeded all expectations. From the moment I arrived, the staff made me feel genuinely welcome with their warm, attentive service and seamless check-in process. The amenities truly set this hotel apart. The room was modern and immaculately clean, with a bed so comfortable it felt like sleeping on a cloud. The facilities were equally impressive and the pool area was a perfect place to unwind after a long day. Buffet breakfast was plentiful and I would highly recommend staying here and will definitely be returning on my next trip. You do need a car to get around as it is a bit out of the way although the Waurn Ponds shopping centre is not far away

Arrived at 6pm and was able to dine in house with good value food on express menu before 6 45pm. Being a conference centre they provide unusued rooms for public bookings. There was only a small group conference so it was very quiet dueing our stay. Breakfast was hot and cold buffet options in dining area. A moderate range of healthy options Room was modern clean and comfortable. Would stay there again.

Staff very friendly and helpful. Felt very safe in that property. Very convenient and affordable. Perhaps the only thing I disliked was the lawn mowing early in the morning which disturbed our sleep.
