Stayed for 4 days after saving up for a much needed work break. First day room never got cleaned so no dry towels. Went to reception and asked that evening twice and the next morning but never supplied dry towels for a shower. The next day they cleaned room and then took a whole bag of groceries worth over $50. Asked at reception said would check and call me. Never did. 3 more times of asking and denied taking. No apologies, no offer of compensation. I finally asked for a free breakfast at least that was finally agreed to. Then at breakfast on last day tried to charge me for it. The manager's attitude was quite dismissive and never once offered any appologies.

I liked that it was close to wineries and restaurants, also the peace and quiet surroundings. I was expecting it to be cleaner. Shower heads and tub was a little rusty. Sofa had old dirt marks. For a relax weekend, getting out of the city was good.

Signage for the hotel entrance could be a bit bigger and noticeable because you can easily miss the turn as it is so close to the roundabout.

The reception staff on arrival were less than helpful. We were assigned upstairs rooms (no lifts!) which was no good for one lady. To reach the pool was very inconvenient General cleanliness was lacking. Cudos to Hayley -reception - on our last night. Cleaners were knocking on the door at 9.30 when checkout was 10. Not very professional. Will not be returning!

Good location if you want to be close to the Gardens. A bit weird that some of the rooms open out to the street and there is no fence or security.
