Disappointed Booked drift for a 4 night getaway, booked a two bedroom apartment, I thought! Walked into a 1 bedroom with annexe, the annexe had no wardrobe, side tables, no power points to charge tech, divided by glass doors and shutters so no privacy, especially if the other person was up later with lights on. The apartment face the street and carpark very noisy, the room light up like daylight during the evening due to very bright street, carpark and venue lighting making sleeping near impossible. The resort is tired and needs some TLC. Arrived at venue and no-one sent locked box instructions had to ring to get them after they said they would e-mail. Have stayed at other resorts for the same price with much better offerings. Disappointed

The staff were very friendly and helpful. The buildings are old and in need of a fit out. One elevator for our building meant that my diabled guest had to walk long distances which caused her a lot of pain. Everything else was great. Excellent food and diningboptions all very close toour accommodation.

Some trees overhanging the pool seemed dangerous and unkempt. We saw a branch break and hit a women on the shoulder as she was holding her baby with her other arm. It was dangerous and we spoke to management. We have stayed here previously and the pool is lovely but very shaded as the trees are so large and overhang the pool. Therefore it's very cold.

Initially we were booked into a One-bedroom Loft unit which on arrival was very dreary and not maintained. We were very disappointed and relayed this to the Receptionist as this was a celebration long weekend for my 70th birthday with guests from Brisbane attending also. The Receptionist was outstanding and allotted us a newly renovated unit with 2 bedrooms. This was very much appreciated and can recommend her with her outstanding customer service.
