We just everything. Staff, room,pool.
We were fortunate to get an upgrade, the room was huge and comfy.
Easy booking, great reception, clean and comfortable bed
The motel room was a great size, it was lovely and dark, the kitchenette was a welcome addition. The bathroom was great and shower was fantastic. The bed was comfortable and the room clean, the pool area and facilities were a welcome addition and we were quite impressed. We loved that there was a pub next door if you wanted a meal or a cold bevy. The staff at the pub were wonderful and extremely friendly.
The car parks were narrow but there wasn’t really anything we didn’t like
Good location. Excellent value for money. The indoor recreation centre is definitely a plus for the kids, especially when it rains. The rooms are good.
Sound insulation is not good between the rooms.
The pool and recreation area was amazing, we spent hours there and my son enjoyed the table tennis and pool tables as well. The food was great also!
The room was awesome, spa bath was also incredible. The pool and indoor spa were also lovelyLocation, very close to major attractions
Clean, comfortable, and perfectly located — friendly staff made our stay effortless and enjoyable.
The cost to open the middle connecting door between rooms was quite expensive. Also, the swimming pool was small and often overcrowded, which made it hard to enjoy.
Sovereign Park was a great stay, it was clean and comfortable. It was great to have the recreational facilities, my family loved it, we played pickleball, table tennis, fuse ball and went to the pool. The spa was good, very relaxing especially after being at Sovereign Hill all day. Having the cafe/restaurant was an added bonus, we didn't go anywhere else to eat as the restaurant was good food and service. I didn't want to leave.
Facilities - indoor pool, spa, spacious room.
The one way in and out of car park to our room no. 39 room.

Lack of a bread knife
They did a fraud with us by charging us more of the room and later not refunding and providing reasons like room was left messy
Corrupted staff
Very clean, large room, staff very friendly and helpful. Good location with excellent recreational facilities.
