The facility was not what I expected - it was probably built in the 1960s(?) but it has been lovingly maintained and updated. Our room and bathroom were large, the kitchenette was well-appointed, the beds were very comfortable, the shower stayed hot, the heated towel racks were nice. The washer and dryer worked and were the least expensive of our trip. The breakfast was excellent and delivered on time and hot - even in a rain storm.

Very roomy bathrooms and the beds were quite large! I wish we had time to use the hot tub, but we were out and about. Nice to have a resteraunt on site although we didn’t have time. Also nice that the front desk offers the purchase of wine and other drinks to take back to your room. The property even had a little game room area for families. The stream in the back was peaceful.

Excellent place, kind staff and know a lot about the place, walking distance from the gondola and the attractions on the mountain. Pool and game room, mini golf and trampoline in the complex.

Great location, private and away from the noise. The unit was excellent, clean, tidy and a bonus with the spa. The surroundings was lovely with their own little walkway ànd stream on the premises.

The communication was great as booking.com didn't inform Braeside that I cancelled the booking. Braeside contacted me and we got things sorted. Loved everything - parking outside the room, spa, mini golf, pool and the walk around the stream was lovely. Room was super clean and comfy. Loved that the spa was off the bathroom and that you filled the spa fresh yourself. Handy to everything we required. Would like to try the onsite restaurant. Really keen to visit again and stay. Thank you so much Braeside.

Location perfect. Room very clean, just a bit dated but exceptional value for money

We enjoyed our stay for the night. It was nice and quiet. Clean and tidy. Very lovely and friendly lady at reception who did amazing being farely new. Our room was a decent size for 2 and we also had the spa pool which was lovely by the way. Straight from the bedroom to the little private section through the sliding doors off the room. How convenient! Although we didn't have our kids they have a little park there for your little ones aswell. Too cool. Would definitely stay again at this affordable price. Would highly recommend.

I liked that it had it’s own free parking spot for the unit. And it was close to the Luge and 3D art.

The room exceeded our expectations considering the affordable price. It was a very good value for money. It was big, clean, comfortable, and the place was very quiet. It was a very good experience for me and my husband.

The room was spacious, clean and tidy. Great location as close to lots of activities in the area. Staff are helpful and friendly.
