Nice but a bit of a shambles.
Room next to a building site. Started work at 8am Saturday morning. Big foot staying upstairs. Old man looking through the window at 10am Saturday morning. No USB charging points. Not worth $170 a night.

Property is under going renovations currently but other than that room was very clean , bed was nice, parking is good with a boat, the only problem I had was that I could not pay for the boat trailer parking thru the resort.. you have to go to another building and company to pay for the boat ramp and boat parking. Which I was almost too late to get before they closed. So little tricky. My advice for the resort is to connect and be able to pay for boat trailer parking and ramp and water slips with the resort not a third party property on the grounds.
