I had a mixed experience during my stay. The resort offers a great location with many activities and beautiful scenery, making it enjoyable overall. However, some aspects, like outdated rooms and a disappointing dining experience, could definitely use improvement. Still, it's a comfortable spot to base yourself for exploring Tasmania's northwestern gems.

Our stay at the resort was really enjoyable, with a great balance of activities and relaxation. The rooms were clean and had everything we needed, although they did show some signs of age. The staff was friendly and efficient, making our check-in a breeze. The location was perfect for exploring the beautiful surrounding areas, and the amenities provided a solid base for our family trip. However, we did notice some dust in the room which was a bit concerning and affected my asthma during the night.

We had a wonderful week at the resort, enjoying spacious, clean accommodations with magnificent views over the golf course. The pool facilities were quite nice, and the ambiance made for a relaxing stay. However, we encountered some issues with Wi-Fi and dining, which took away slightly from our overall experience. Nonetheless, it's great value for what you get, especially if you're looking to explore Tasmania's beautiful North.
