Great place for family, front desk staff so lovely
Had the best mini getaway with the family! Close proximity to all the main attractions in Hunter, was worried room would be cold during winter but air con worked a treat to keep us nice and cosy. Buffet was kids highlight - a lot of variety and good quality. Next time will definitely take advantage of the kids club activities (we already had itinerary mapped out and booked before we got here). Front desk reception staff were friendly and super helpful - will definitely stay again.
