The indoor pool is genuinely heated to a tropical 33°C (91°F)
Attached to The Red Lion, a massive dining complex with its own indoor playground
Walking distance (800m) to Sovereign Hill's gold rush history
Краткий обзор: It's a motel on the outside, but a full-blown family leisure centre on the inside.
Подтверждено @Gipsy7: I was genuinely surprised by how huge this suite was! The wood paneling gives it a warm, cabin-like vibe that feels super cozy. Having a separate living area was great, but my favorite part was definitely the massive spa bath. It felt like a total retreat.
