"DANGEROUS HEALTH HAZARD: Parasite Risk, Filth, unpleasant. Stayed 3 times for work, but never again. This hotel is a severe health and safety nightmare. Health & Water: The water quality is appalling. After using the tap on my last day, I suffered a violent gastrointestinal reaction. The shower water is so harsh it "burnt" my skin barrier. The room provided a rusty, broken kettle, forcing me to use my own spring water until it ran out. Safety & Hygiene: Every stay involved cockroaches and thick dust. The environment feels unsafe; a window was smashed during my stay, and the clientele is often "shady." As a solo woman, I felt completely vulnerable. Management & Service: "Tegan" was dismissive and unpleasant. I requested a ground-floor room days in advance for a project involving heavy lifting from my van. Despite being the first to check in, I was ignored and given a top-floor room on the loudest side, while later arrivals, including a younger man in foot with a backpack - got ground-floor spots. This negligence & lack of compassion caused me severe physical strain and body damage. Environment: The property is trashed with cigarette butts. Staff sprayed weed killer directly behind me without warning; he wore a mask while I was forced to inhale fumes. Road noise is deafening 24/7. With no fly screens, you must choose between a room full of bugs or stifling aircon. Avoid at all costs. This is a genuine health risk and an out-of-pocket disaster. I will be taking further action."

"A great stay, lovely, comfortable, large home with lots of birds. We really enjoyed our day on Puffing Billy the local steam train and you can walk from the house."

"Gorgeous inside and out. The garden is everywhere you look through your windows. So relaxing. Made me feel so good. "

"A gorgeous place to stay. We loved our time at Aquila and felt so relaxed and refreshed being there. The room was clean and cosy, especially with the fire on. The amenities were fantastic and the bottle of bubbly readily enjoyed! We both found the bed to be comfortable and had a real quality night's sleep. Couldn't fault it, thank you for having us! "

"The view from our room was absolutely stunning! The location was great, just a short drive or a 25 minute walk to the centre of Sassafras. Justin was very kind and knowledgeable about the area, and happy to give us ideas for local places to eat. We wish we didn’t have to leave at the end of our trip!"
