Porterhouse steaks and sides at Shirley’s were beyond amazing! I’d never heard of truffle butter but I’m so glad we tried it. One week on and I’m still thinking about it! Would post a photo if I could! Soooo yum!

Very relaxing stay for me and my family, our son enjoyed the pool and amenities. There were not many food options, however we did manage to uber eats some food for us. Due to being a public holiday, the kitchen were closed earlier. It would have been great, if there were options available for kids during our stay. Overall was a pleasant stay & will be definitely returning

Not so family friendly
Our stay was ok. The restaurant was closed when we arrived which made it difficult for us to find a place to eat at 3pm. Also, my daughter who is 14 years old was kicked out of the gym in a very awful and rude way. I was with my daughter at the time and she wasn’t doing anything wrong except being under 16. It was a rainy day and we exhausted all the activities and games we had and decided to walk on the treadmill (apparently it was strictly not allowed).
