Booked 2 bedroom for family of 5 as I was seeking self contained accommodation to be able to cook meals during our 2 night stay. Main issue was that the oven and stove top did not work well/ at all which was disappointing. Overall it was adequate and if the cooking facilities were improved would consider staying again.

I stayed with 3 x 15 year old boys; we were there for a sports weekend. Property was fine for us. Our unit had a very old stove in it with solid cooking rings that took forever to heat up to cook on. Needed a couple of decent size bowls in the pantry for a salad/pop corn etc. We had to ask for a kitchen sink plug and tea towels. Property is dated and possibly needs a new coat of paint but was safe and the beds were comfy. And yes we would stay again with kids. Easy to find location and central to all the stadiums the kids were playing at. Having no one in reception was a new experience for us but the people that answered my phone calls were great. We were allowed a later checkout of 11am too.

We asked at least 3 times if the rooms were wheelchair accessible and if they had roll in showers. We were told yes each time but this was not the case. The rooms are absolutely not wheelchair accessible, nor are the bathrooms. Furthermore, some of the rooms were on the second floor and only accessible by stairs. As a result multiple people had to seek alternative accommodation. We were not offered any form of refund and were actually charged extra for an additional ground floor apartment.

The wifi was really bad as it kept disconnecting and to make it worse the location had bad mobile coverage so even using data was a nightmare. You couldn’t do a number 2 without blocking the toilet. They had a small playground of 2 swings which was falling a part. It does the job for somewhere to sleep at least.
