“This property has potential given its prime spot near Tuggerah Lake, however, reports of cleanliness issues and deferred maintenance give me pause. On the bright side, the karaoke room and proximity to water activities are real assets, and with some attention could definitely be a draw. For now, I'd suggest travellers temper their expectations.”
