"We have family in Sydney, but do not have a family home to stay at when we come for a visits. This was the most perfect place for us. The rooms were extremely clean. The pool is absolutely perfect for anyone with Kids since it literally is only up to my neck. We had a lot of fun in the pool. Sauna perfect except for the kids kept complaining they couldn’t go in. By far, the best experience that we had during our stay was the restaurant. We had the full Canadian breakfast and everything was done perfectly. Bacon, nice and crispy, but not burnt, sausage was cooked nice and crispy on the outside. Pancakes were all the same size and great tasting. Myself and my daughter went for supper at the restaurant and we decided to try the Filipino food. It was absolutely amazing. We got a noodle dish that my daughter devoured. I got the barbeque meat meal. The meat is pork belly and it was so delicious because it was marinated in a sauce absolutely the best tasting cure I’ve ever had. I ended up having to order extra skewers because my daughter wanted to steal mine. Even the rice tasted fantastic. Kudos to the Chefs. They definitely put a lot of heart and soul into their food and it tastes amazing. The only complaint that we had was there wasn’t a lot of parking out front, especially if we were out during the evenings."
