We stayed in this hotel just for one night (thankfully) to visit the sites in Polunawarra. First impressions upon arrival were positive, but then it all went rapidly downhill from there. We arrived late afternoon (past usual check in time) and still had to wait for the room to be 'cleaned'. When we got to the room, it seemed ok,... more

The location of the hotel and the surroundings are very nice. Once upon a time this place might have been a nice place to stay, but not anymore. We booked a room online and prepaid for it. Upon arrival they couldn't find our booking. So we were first put in a room with dead geckos and bugs. We talked to... more
