Unfortunately for me, I had a non renovated room. It was average at best. ( I saw a renovated room during cleaning & noted the huge contrast). Unable to watch TV from the bed, and with a strong musty smell & inability to open the window, I propped the door open when in the room except at night. The grounds, restaurant, bar & gaming venue were all good. Also looks like a lovely wedding venue in old winery building. Staff were all excellent & willing to go the extra mile. KD was particularly great, but really all were including housekeeping. Food very good. Indoor pool was a bonus.
Checking in is available up to 11pm. Rooms were lovely, clean & neat. The bed was very comfortable. There's a heated pool, gaming room, restaurant & a small bar. Restaurant is very good - great menu & food. Plenty of parking. It's a little bit noisy in the evening once any private functions end, with people returning to their rooms, but nothing too bad.
Smelt mouldy soon as you walked in, toilet falling apart let alone the shower and areas not wiped for ages. Bad area to have as a hotel it is really confusing for me to get into, my opinion. Tried ordering room service didn't get an answer 2 first times, the lady on the other end was really rude, would have been nice as well to see a $10 fee for the service on the hotels welcoming book. My recommendation stay anywhere else but here.
Christmas Day at St Francis Winery 2024 lunch. I cannot express how much we enjoyed our Christmas Day this year. We were a table of nine friends and family who all enjoyed the experience, from being greeted at the door by the lovely Payton, to the plentiful charcuterie platters, and fresh prawns on the tables. Then a beautiful buffet, with lovely tender, juicy turkey, luscious leg ham off the bone, roast pork cooked beautifully, chicken with all the trimmings, hot vegetable and salad bar, and really nicely presented individual desserts. Father Christmas arrived with gifts for the children, and we all agreed it was a great decision to celebrate Christmas at St Frances. Thankyou to Miles, who had a smile for all of us, and to all the staff who gave up their Christmas Day to make our day the best it could be.
Great customer service, friendly staff created a relaxed feel where nothing was a problem. Best Salmon dish I’ve tasted! Very cool and fun spot!
