Sphinx for Avalon

The Sphinx probably had its heyday in the 1980’s and still retains the optimism of that era. Our room was sparkling clean with none of the dreadful chemical deodoriser smell some older premises use. As an asthmatic - thank you Sphinx! The restaurant and bar are handy and the service excellent.

I was a bit iffy when i first pulled up but it was such a good set up, room was great with a spa bath and dinner from the bistro (although no room service, you could take away from the bistro to your room) was absolutely delicious. The staff were all helpful and friendly and the night was peaceful and quiet and bed was comfy.

Great location and dining experience was really good and playground was amazing for our 4 year old. Down falls is the pool was super dirty and didn’t want our son going in there and I think it’s alittle over priced for what it is just a real basic room and bathroom was falling apart but it did the job.

Nice break

We booked the spa room, which was nice. The room was a bit dated, but clean and comfy. The staff went above and beyond duty though to help you, if needed.

Liked: Staff & service
The rooms were cramped but reasonable quality, but there were old soap bars in the bathroom and hairs on one of the beds. The staff apologised the next day and said we’d get a call but it’s been a week. People were slamming doors outside our room after midnight. On the positive side if you are into gaming and themed venues and partying all night this might be your venue, the bar / games room was right next to the accommodation.

Great location, short drive to city or to get back on freeway. Disappointed the price advertised was not the same I paid at the property, a difference of $20 as we checked in on a public holiday. On arrival no sign on reception to say we had to go to bar to check in. We booked as required wifi for night. Could not connect as said their hotspot had error & to sign in. Went to bar to enquire, no sign in needed should be auto & as no management on site. no one could sort the wifi. Odd for a busy Easter weekend. Bar was busy with people & a ton of pokies for those that like that. Room was good, just pity on service & additional cost, a dollar or 2 you can understand $20 not so much

The room appeared to have not been cleaned properly. There was no cutlery except for 2 tiny wooden disposable teaspoons. The air conditioner was non functional. The doona did not have a cover but rather a loose flat sheet over it to give the outward appearance on a cover. The mini “fridge” was more like a mini freezer and froze everything that was placed inside. The pool looked to be a mess and wasn’t usable. The staircase leading to the second floor of rooms was unsafe and had several steps that were not secure. The best part of my stay was the bistro dining experience, the staff were outstanding and the food was perfect!

Rooms were extremely warm due to the room facing the afternoon sun. Aircon bately worked efficiently for the room size. Went and bought a fan from Myers store so we could sleep comfortably. Had bistro meals were great and plentiful for dinners. Had issue when wife and daughter walked back to room and were stopped and told to walk around in the excessive heat that evening by stsff. Unacceptable. They were not stopping in the gaming area, just walking through to access the room. Daughter was 13, accompanied by wife and just walking through... If this is an issue, then doors should be closed off and or monitored by security or staff. Had we known this was a problem then we would of left and asked for refund on first night. Such an inconvenience and in hot temperatures was not liked. Albeit another direct route to the rooms must be provided without accessing the gaming area. This could be a big issue if a family with young childres are staying, or in event of bad weather
