Warum Gäste es lieben
- Incredible family amenities including an ice rink, indoor/outdoor pools, and kids' zones
- Stunning Jamison Valley views and direct access to bushwalks
- Sprawling 9.5-hectare grounds with a golf course and tennis courts
Kurzfassung: It's a fantastic playground for families, but couples seeking a quiet, modern luxury escape might find the rooms dated and the atmosphere too kid-heavy.
Bewertet von @alovelyplanet: I brought my family here for a weekend and we were blown away by how much there is to do. My kids loved the indoor ice rink and the mini train ride. It's the perfect spot to exhaust the little ones while actually getting to relax a bit yourself!
