This property did not live up to the image of its name and price. Greatly disappointing.

The room although comfortable, was somewhat dated & in need of a makeover for the image portrayed via web search. Told no evening refreshments were available anymore despite mention of seafood platters and teas on net. Cutlery and plates but no way to self-cater which considering one needed to go 40+km return journey to find a restaurant was a real pain. Breakfasts were excellent but no better than others we had had at lesser priced establishments.

Its location over looking Wallis Lake was delightful but not enough to counteract its distance from amenities and the lack of facilities in the immediate surround. (The one & only small shop in Coomba Park itself which was closed anyway). The relevant remoteness was a fact not obvious until arrival. The swimming pool had a very small area on which to place sunbeds/chairs and with maximum bed occupancy would have been uncomfortable.

As Galway Downs was to be a treat at the end of a busy touring itinerary it was a great disappointment.

Due to its isolation,staying at Galway Downs involved much extra travelling to access attractions in the wider area.
