What guests say
8.6 / 10 · Very good on Booking.com, from 1,083 guest reviews
The Creekside Inn wins consistent praise for its spotless, spacious rooms, warm staff, and serene creek-side gardens that give it a genuine 'hidden gem' feel. Guests repeatedly highlight the heated pool and peaceful setting as standout features. The main grumbles centre on a scaled-back breakfast offering and inconsistent morning coffee service timing — minor but recurring frustrations that stop the experience from being flawless.
