Well where do I start…read more.. After being a loyal returning customer to blue gum apartments for the past 6 years taking two apartments a visit I've noticed not only the room conditions but the cleanliness factor drop very considerably to the point I feel the need to review to warn people of what they are about to book. After checking in we were treated to filthy apartments that were just cleaned with a broken shower and broken but cleaned cup in the cupboards and no bathroom floor mats having to use a towel and wash it daily. Dirty marks on walls carpets and kitchen bench,including floor tiles with bad beds you can't get comfortable in. 2 nights in a row fire alarms randomly going off for no reason is also a inconvenience. No smoke alarms in common areas is a massive fire risk, infact they are on the floor missing batteries broken... The best part is when you goto call to complain and the fellow gives you attitude obviously because it's not the 1st phone call he's had in relation to similar experiences and then continued to pass the buck onto strata management out of his control.. Pathetic If your thinking of staying here, do yourself and your hip pocket a huge favour and disregard this place as your well earned money is not respected or obviously wanted here and after 6 years of using this place we will not be returning. Hopefully you read this before you book! Cheers George

Don't stay here. Tv didn't work, phone didn't work…read more They raised our rate by $40 a night when we arrived. Really lousey place, terrible service. One lady running the whole place. When we called the manager they were rude. They shouldn't be allowed to even call themselves a best western. And a 4 star rating?Forget it. I wouldn't give them a 9one star. We checked out after one night. Many other hotels nearby with much better rates and service.

Let's talk about the new look first. It's nice! Exposed brick, neutral tones, funky lighting and…read moredivisions creating a feeling of privacy. Most of the seating is adjacent to or within view of the kids play area. I can't help but feel the space is much smaller than pre renovation however I didn't walk around to see where the rest was being utilised. The menu is inexpensive, no fuss pub grub; offering salads, burgers, grills and schnitty's. The portions are decent. My partners $19 schnitzel was enormous and the gravy ordered as extra was more than enough to cover. Curiosity was my main drive; choosing the South African hotdog. Sadly it wasn't a significant taste sensation to warrant attempting to make it sound 'exotic'. The tomato and onion relish was an uninteresting tomato pulp and you probably could have stuck any old sausage on the roll. As a local I would definitely come back for the value for money.

Was a regular to this pub a while back, came for a few beers and a snack so I ordered the haloumi…read morechips. 15 dollars later and my bowl of haloumi chips arrive, 6 chips in total. Flavour was there but can't really justify 6 chips for 15 bucks
