PAR Five Shacks

For a regional stay it was good. Small things could have made it feel more special for the price point. Beds comfortable, space was good but it lacked any personality. Too minimalist? There was lacklustre soaps etc bathroom. I would have expected a complimentary bottle of wine for the type of stay. The aircon was not on for our arrival so 35 degrees. The room was not prepared for a check in, ie The chairs were all over the place. Only 2 coffee pods. It looks good, it was nice and comfortable but for $462 it wasn’t special. I wouldn’t return. Aircon - yes Spacious- yes Bedding - quality and comfortable Location- good Convenient - good

Beautifully presented. Check in could be improved. Good location to explore the Riverland. We found the villa noisy when someone was in either of the adjoining rooms. The loft ceiling is a wow factor in the villa however it has the disadvantage of light streaming through when the sun rises and not blocked out overnight. We ate in the Tavern which was convenient but it was an average experience and very noisy. We ate at Earth for dinner one of the evenings which was a short walk across the Fairway and it did not disappoint, it was marvellous including the service. I would like to see more exterior lighting and more obvious signage for Earth, it is far superior to the Tavern but needs to raise its profile. There is no way to lock the rear door of the villa from the outside so we had to use the front door which is sufficient but would have been nice to sometimes leave by the rear straight onto the golf course with the golf equipment. Overall, it was a wonderful stay and would recommend the Par Five Shacks.
