The rooms were comfortable. However the shower head dripped, and the when we turned on the spa jets, bits of things came out. So we couldn’t use it and had to shower instead.

We couldn't have asked for a better location! Very close to the Three Sisters viewpoint, and other beautiful views and trails. We just had a little difficulty adjusting the hot water in the bathroom. Room was spacious and comfortable with fridge, microwave, coffee and tea.

Charming little apartment very close to the sights, like Echo Point, the night walk, and the eastern departure from Scenic World. It’s a bit further to downtown but it’s right on the bus line and not a bad walk in any case. It took a bit to figure out the heater but once we did it worked fine; the beds had heaters which the kids loved!

We wanted an accommodation that’s close to the three sisters attraction. Thank you for giving us adjacent rooms. The property itself is dated but the rooms were clean and looked as advertised in person. Will stay here again.

Would be good to have a laundry. Bathroom was freezing as window broken. Could do with a bathroom heater since the heated towel rail wasn’t working.

What I liked about the property is that it was conveniently located on Lurline St which is very short distance walk from the Echo Point 3 Sisters lookout. It is also only a short drive away from the town. What I disliked about the property is that it felt very exposed so it didn't feel safe. As it was at an intersection, passing-by people and cars could be heard in the evening. I would love the place to be fenced up and with someone on side in the reception. The room was also a bit dirty. The side tables were covered in dust. The bathroom needed a renovation as the ceiling was peeling obviously from constantly getting damped from the shower. The bed and linen were quite clean so the family was quite happy.
