I stayed in a private room with my two children 16 and 7 years old and a friend of my daughter's also 16 and we really loved our cosy room. It was located in a lovely townhouse in a central location in Newtown. Room was clean and my son loved the YouTube on the tv. We also had a fridge. On Sunday there was free pancakes for brekkie that the staff cooked up for the guests. Staff was super friendly and very helpful. I also had a swim in the small pool. Not heated though, but I'm Swedish so I didn't mind the 5 degree water in Winter. Price for our room was good for being in Newtown, which is a really cool suburb with lots of street art, opshops, Cafés and unique shops.
