Frommer's Review

This rural retreat has one of the best resort golf courses in Australia, and is the most upmarket place in the Swan Valley. Most rooms or apartments in the low-rise accommodations have balconies looking onto the 36-hole championship golf course or over the pool or vineyard. Kangaroos are a regular sight along the bush-fringed fairways. The rooms are of a high standard, if a bit stiff and citified. A suite consists of a room with a living area and some feature a spa. There's no smoking allowed indoors.

Facilities:
2 restaurants; 2 cafes; 2 bars; large outdoor pool; golf course (guest discounts available); 4 tennis courts (2 floodlit); exercise room; outdoor heated Jacuzzi; salon; masseuse; room service; laundry service; dry cleaning; 2 squash courts

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
