Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Parking costs extra — On-site parking is not included in the room rate; it costs AUD 30 per day, which may add up on longer stays.
  • Limited in-room dining options — There is no on-site restaurant, so guests rely on the kitchen or nearby eateries, which may not suit everyone.
  • Check-out is early — Check-out time is 10:00, which could feel rushed for those wanting a leisurely morning.
  • Fitness and dining scores lower — While overall ratings are strong, the facilities and dining categories scored lower (7.5 and 8.0 respectively), suggesting some areas may not meet every expectation.
