Annual pilgrimage

We make an annual trip to fox n hound. The location is great for exploring the area, staff is friendly and rooms are consistently clean. The hotel is dated but we find that’s part of the charm of the trip. Terrific views from sea side rooms.

4/10 Fair

Nice place, interesting building, great view from room. Non drinkable water in room, yellowish water from shower, no coherent explanation why.
1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The restaurant offered a good range of food though a long wait after ordering. Ease of dining with accommodation metres away. Bottled water offered to compensate for tannin coloured water.

The facility needs significant improvement.
Qi, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

The water issue wasn’t a problem for us, it’s just tea tree stained dam water. The view was amazing and bed was comfy. Our room could definitely do with a good clean and this hotel has the potential to be 4 stars with some love.
