Clean and tidy
Quiet safe area. Room had everything one needs Pool looks good, did not use it. Staff very helpful and a joy to deal with. Near restaurants.
Iron not working.
Nice clean cabin, comfortable bed Good shower Clean gardens and out door areas Simple check inn and check out process Definitely go back
AC blowing directly on the bed
Great location and poll was really clean and well looked after
rooms on the other hand we had to change rooms after we looked and found that it was filthy and had not been cleaned for sometime properly After moving rooms it was better
Spacious self contained unit with outdoor patio. Secure parking and good location
Having to use key tag to initiate power to Aircon. Could not keep room cool if had to leave unit for outing. Sweltering temperatures in Central Australia make walking into locked unit uncomfortable.
The pool and location
The room smelt like mould and the air con was undersized for the room. It was 43 degrees and took the room hours to cool down after the aircon was turned on.
Good location and clean and good pool!
The pool is great!
The room stunk like sewage and there was mouldy food under the bed
The pool and bbq facilities are always amazing!!
The room location was good, however we did feel a little unsafe as the fences didn’t have much security on the side. Not having a spare key for the aircon to be on when we utilised the BBQ area.
Excellent place to stay. Friendly staff, comfortable bed, great bathroom, AC cooled perfectly, secure parking in front of unit.
Nothing to add here
Location was good. Ease of booking in.
Very poor air-conditioning. Alice Springs experiences very hot temperatures in January and the air conditioner was not up to it. The room itself was very hot. The wall radiated heat from the outside, and the air-con could not cool the room. It was also noisy. Staff should have ensured air-con was on an hour before arrival.
Great pool area. Enough equipment to prepare & cook simple meals. Good balcony. Tv good
staff filled rooms and left space for room to move
too many questions on your survey ,starting to feel like an interrogation
Very family friendly, secure and convenient
No faults
Great pool, lovely room, very peaceful
The bbq area could be made a bit more inviting, eg with some outdoor tables - but everything else was fantastic
Nice island pool. Secure parking outside villa.
How crammed the beds were in the family villa. Having to wait for the room to cool down as aircon would only run with tag in slot.
Location & practicality,comfortable.
The toilet roll dispensers. It was literally impossible to use,they were useless. We ended up buying our own rolls of toilet paper.
room location always acceptable very quiet and safe for a stay, staff were so friendly always respectful with the service in reception clear informations served well, Thank you very much for having us over
The staff were very friendly. Carolina was very helpful and such great customer service.
The palm trees fronds out the front of cabin made it difficult to get in and out of my car without them hitting me in the face. Had to try and manoeuvre them with one hand and other try open and close car door.
