Eureka Stockade Holiday Park
We were put in a much smaller cabin than what was expected from the online photos for 3A & 1C. Overpriced for what received, compared to cabins available

The Eastern Hotel Accommodations
Property is quite dated but its pretty good for the price. Room was clean. The only true negative was the fact that the bar below has live music that goes on until late which can be heard from the rooms.

Eureka Lodge Motel
Room was clean, minimal kitchen (or lack thereof). Beds were hard, on Expedia it shows playground and pool which makes you think its at the motel but it's cross the road which is misleading. Loud at night and light out the front of the room was bright at night.

Host double booked didn't get to stay. Efficient Stayz staff helped with refund after but major inconvenience

Parrot's on the creek .
The host is very deceptive, it is advertised to be a 4 bedroom house with 2 bathrooms, it's a 3 bedroom and one bedroom is leased to a tenant. Only 2 bedrooms available with only bathroom available is an ensuite. Certainly not enough beds for the 6 people booking. I had to find other accommodation ...
