“Shit, gave me alot of stress to not get access to my room that I payed for”
Didn't answer calls to get access to the facility! Sent message in booking they didn't answer. Needed to book another accommodation and didn't get my money back! YHA is so much better recommended and it the same price for better standards!

“Due to the ageism encountered we will inform the growing number of over 35's to give you a miss.”
We were both disgusted at the ageism we were confronted with. It is against the law and we will be making a formal complaint to the ACCC and the Federal Minister. Hence we did not stay in the property as we felt unwelcome.

“Alright stay for 1 night”
Nice pool, friendly travellers there with me, funky setup - felt like a campsite. A/c was good to have in the room, self checkin worked for me. Cleanliness in room was alright. Being able to leave luggage for the day was cool, though was outdoors without any protection or anyone looking after it.
