Excellent location
Guests have rated the location of this Coffs Harbour resort highly, mentioning the ease of access to the beach and walking trails as well as the selection of dining spots in the area. There are attractions nearby but guests also note that the Pacific Highway enables visits to destinations along the coast.

Negative Reviews
negative:
Accommodation may appear dated
While there is plenty of good feedback about the accommodation here, there is also a fair amount of negative feedback. Guests have tended to find the rooms look fairly dated and as though they haven't been refurbished for quite some time.
negative:
Surroundings can be noisy
Reviews indicate that previous guests have occasionally been subjected to a fair amount of unwanted noise. The resort appears to play host to large groups of children and their parents/teachers and this can result in some disruption. Also. guests in some rooms have been able to hear garbage trucks.
negative:
Maintenance could be improved
Overall, there's a sense that maintenance could be better here. In addition to the rooms appearing fairly dated, guests have reported a fair number of ‘out-of-order' signs on facilities - something that is not generally expected at a four-star resort.
