Our travel agent booked us into the Cavenagh. We thought it was going to be a boutique hotel so got quite a surprise to see it was a back packers really. I think we were thirty years older than anyone else staying there - slightly intimidating to get into the pool with all these gorgeous young bodies about! But we... more

Booked through wotif, from the outside at night looked like a happening place, staff were young and friendly, and then we went to our room!!!! The smell hit us as soon as we opened the door, mouldy damp carpet was all we could smell, the matress stunk the same and the fridge was leaking all over the carpet. To top... more

Upon checkin at the Cavenagh our reservation was lost (found 1/2 an hour later) we were given an early check in which was great, but a bit sad for the people who were still sleeping in that room (yes we were given the keys to an occupied room!) From there we were rudely woken no less than 5 times on... more

I stayed there and thought it was going to be nice. I seriously wished I had viewed my room before I paid because I would of walked out. I thought I was happy about the kitchen available for use, but inside it was very dirty and none of the power outlets worked. I had to unplug the refrigerator to use... more

As im not a backpacker, although have done it a lot before and dont mind roughing it when i have to, i booked into the "motel" part of the cavenagh. The first room they tried to check us into was appalling!!! Three rooms later and we evenutally agreed to stay there for the one night, it was the early hours... more

After reading a few bad reviews on tripadvisor, my partner and I decided to stay here anyway. We booked a 'boutique' double room, I think it was room 118. The room had a a window raised from the ceiling which made it a little dark but other than that it was extremely clean, renovated, air-conditioned and everything was in working... more

Stayed at the Cavenagh for one night only in a Double room. Didn't expect too much given the room price. The room was clean, with a flat screen tv and coffee facilities. Negatives: only 1or 2 tv channels available and no window!! Reception staff very helpful, clean facilities. more

We landed at the Cavenagh, or "The Cav" in a very tired and drawn state. We had booked a "deluxe" room and my wife is accompanied by a Guide Dog. So naturally we were given a room that was as far away from the entrance as possible, up and down stairs and no windows (AAARGGHH!). We stayed in this room... more
