July 2022

The rooms had everything we needed with two small kids. The Resort had mini golf and tennis courts with equipment that we could borrow for free. Check in and check out was seamless. The heating was great and quick. Even had a small playground with 2 slides. There was plenty of space for everyone! No baby proofing in the kitchen and with heaters but we managed by keeping an eye on the kids all the time and moving somethings around in the kitchen to make it safer, but that is above and beyond (not an expectation). The restaurant was great and we were able to have dessert in our room as part way through the meal the kids were getting tired after a big day. Food was AMAZING and a fair price.

Sound proofing between the rooms in our 2 bedroom was nil, and a weird cold draft from the wardrobes.

Great location close to town, the view of the mountains from our room was spectacular. Staff were friendly and helpful. Overall very clean, had everything we needed. Nice spas on site

The linen- small towels. The beds had no cover on the duvet and there were bloodstains, yucky satin bedspreads. Toilet paper was thin/cheap stuff.

Very central to everything. Clean and was nice not to have to pay to use the laundry.

I never got to actually see anyone. I arrived at 1.30pm which is classed as late arrival. Would have been nice just to see a face. Also we had a lot of rain and it flood just where my door was so ended up with wet shoes and feet. Maybe need to look at fixing that problem.

Great location and value for money. Warm rooms with good kitchen utensils/ccokware etc. The in house restaurant and spa is great too.

Wifi was the only issue but we don't have a huge need to it wasn't an issue for us.

We enjoyed the two hot spas – temperature was great and pools were clean. The units were very well stocked with practical items in the kitchen and laundry

Decor is a bit dated. We requested units together with more than five months notice and our booking and yet they’re still did not happen.

The location was excellent. Lovely village feel. Great for the large group we were part of

Maintenance was a bit lacking. Our door was very hard to open and shut and needs attention.

It was handy to town, friendly staff and clean.

The room was very small, and only had free to air tv channels. The on-site bar and restaurant were closed during our stay, which was very disappointing.
