We had significant issues with the hot water in the shower for our unit. The relationship between the hotel and the bistro took some working out.

The room was clean and comfy. Due to remoteness it was reasonably priced. The meals at the bistro were good and staff friendly. Overall facility was tidy, lawns mowed however the accomodation building is tired, and maintenance needed. Timber slats need repair, windows n flyscreens need cleaning, aircon unit was noisy. We were comfy and warm and would stay again.
