Links Lodge at the Dunes

I made the booking back in March for a one-night stay over the King's Birthday long weekend. When we arrived, we were told that check-in was just about to close at 5PM. Luckily, Pete, the accommodation manager, kindly stayed back to help us check in, which we really appreciated. Unfortunately, our booking through Trip.com clearly stated a King-sized bed in a non-smoking room, but their records showed two single beds in a smoking area. Pete offered to either help push the single beds together or suggested we could request a cancellation through Trip.com. Since Trip.com had a strict no-refund policy and we had nowhere else to stay, we had no choice but to stay. My partner ended up helping Pete push the beds together and make the bed, which, while appreciated, really shouldn’t have been necessary. Later that night, we found the kettle was greasy with brown residue, and the mugs and glasses had visible lipstick and coffee stains... We had to clean everything ourselves using hand soap and ended up buying wine vinegar just to clean the kettle so we could have a warm drink in the freezing weather... While Pete was friendly and did his best to assist, the stay was disappointing overall. Cleanliness was well below bare minimum, and the booking mix-up added stress to what was meant to be a relaxing night away. I hope they lift their hygiene practices and improve how bookings are managed to prevent this happening to others.

1）設備比較簡陋，2人入住，衹有1條毛巾，一時不知道它是提供毛巾，還是不提供；有個熱水壺，一個比較小的吧枱（收費） 2）下午5點（還是6點）check in前台就下班了，酒店是通過攜程客服留言，拿到了大門密碼和酒店房號。當晚，開過去酒店路上爆胎，雨天夜路趕過去已經是12點多，還要摸索下高爾夫場裏面的住宿點，實在是有點太難了。幸好有留言 3）環境是舒服的，有不少長者家早上打高爾夫。趕大洋路行程的，就不太建議，有充裕時間的可以考慮，周邊的環境適合多停留休息 4）洗漱用品是全的（拖鞋牙膏牙刷都自帶，澳洲的酒店應該都一樣）

Amazing views. Our planned trip to Halls Gap was cancelled by bushfire so we changed plans last minute and booked Links Lodge at the Dunes on our diversion. We don’t really like golf but we really liked the hotel. In fact, we loved the hotel and the staff were really friendly. The view from the room was amazing and the early morning sunrise was fantastic, I opened the sliding doors and just listened to everything waking up. Highly recommend this place. Very comfortable beds too.
