Larry, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Accommodation was good. Clean and spacious. Didn't like the smell of the room when first arrived and tge electrical frying pan needs to be replaced.
Dionisia, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Each unit was separate, as a single unit with gabled roof. This meant it was quiet. There was a laundry and pool, great for those of us who had returned from walking the Larapinta Trail. The back of the property borders onto the golf course, which was a good dining option. Town was only a 20-30 minute walk (depending on how fast your walking speed), so good access for shopping and the fortnightly market. The property had its own kitchenette, with coffee and tea making facilities as well as a microwave. This was very handy. I will definitely stay here again.
Amanda, 1-night trip

Please advertise you have laundry facilities and a walkable restaurant at the golf course nearby

The rooms were fairly nice but not as good as the pictures make it look. The pool is right by the main road so not as relaxing as we had hoped.

The locked gate is great but I almost got caught out the first night when forgot to memorise the PIN. Overall, not a bad place to stay a few nights.
