We stayed for one night in a standard 'Spa Room', booked direct at $195.00 per night.
There is not much choice when it comes to accommodation in the Swan Valley and compared to the only other ‘resort’ up the road was quite reasonably priced. However, over priced for the standard of room we got.
The room was quite small, overlooked the car park and had a tiny bathroom with a spa in the corner, which fits 2 people at a squeeze. The bathroom and spa looked like it needed a good scrub with Jif. Décor in the room was dated with cork tiles on the floor with curtains and netting, not very modern and the room didn't have a very nice feel. Although the curtains were full block out, light came streaming in from the top and sides of the curtains in the morning. Chairs and cushions could have done with a clean. There was a very small flat screen TV up on a stand, which only had standard TV channels (no foxtel or movies). There was a mini bar and the usual tea and coffee making facilities. Surprised to find a microwave and toaster, which would be quite handy. The ironing board needed to be thrown down the tip and I am so glad that I took my own iron! There was an in room safe.
Smokers were congregated in the carpark, drinking and playing loud music which we could hear from our room.
There is a sign on the spa stating that spas cannot be used after 11pm. People in the room behind us decided to have a spa at midnight, the walls are paper thin and it was very loud and we couldn’t sleep. We called reception three times to sort it out, but nothing was done.
There is a brewery and restaurant on site, we didn’t dine there because when we walked in were told that they were very under staffed and there could be a long wait for food!
Supa golf is also on site, it looked good but we didn’t have time to use it. The pool area looked quite nice and the gardens around the resort are lovely. The resort is in a really nice location and close to lots of wineries etc. The area was very picturesque as all the jacaranda trees were in full bloom.
Next time I stay up that way, will probably find and book a B&B.

Thank you for the comments re decor and cleanliness. We always aspire to meet customer expectations and listen to your feedback. Our decor is new and we are disappointed you find it old fashioned but respect your opinion. Our cleaning staff are always advised when we receive negative feedback so they can improve their performance. It hurts them to know that a customer wasn't satisfied. With regard to the spa issue, our night cartetaker did go to the offending room several times but the guest did not respond. Eventually she used her master key to enter and instruct the guests to turn off the spa which they did. We were very sorry for the inconvenience caused by the malfunction of the timing switch. Thank you for your constructive cticism. We have strived to improve our service.
