Plenty of choice for continental breakfast with a big choice of cereals available, together with fruit and yoghurt. Fresh bread was supplied for toasting, with honey, jams and Vegemite spreads

    We stayed in a little cabin which was really cosy! We had really good air conditioning, a tv and fridge and towels. We had Shared toilets, showers and a small kitchen facility- was really clean and lovely for a couple of days holiday! We didn’t use the pool but looked cleaned. We used the washing machines which were great

    This felt like a lovely cottage in the middle of the tropics instead of a backpackers. It is also located just across the road from the major shopping centre and not far from the esplanade. Very clean and had everything you would need.

    The house itself is a pleasant heritage building with lovely balconies overlooking the pool area as well as the back. It is located outside the city, in a village which is very charming about 8 km from town. It sit on the main thoroughfare but about 10 min walk down the street we found the heart of Stratford, with few stores, a lovely food market and a couple of cafes.
