Mr Fawlty
Well folks all I can say is: don't bother.... we bought an
Easter Package deal all meals included...I have never in my life seen & experienced such a woeful package.
The linen had stains on it, not fresh ones but was stained. the food was tres ordinare...The service non existant...
The service, when I pulled back the sheets to get into bed & discovered, that they were stained was non existant, no applologies, no "Ok we will fix it" just a look of total indifference...
In fact that is how I would describe the place... Totally indifferent, no one gives a damn after they have your money...
NEVER EVER AGAIN....even if they do clean up the place....

There was a thread on
Jenolan caves a while ago and you are not the first to complain about the place. I went there when I was a kid somewhere in the 1980's and I thought it was a magical place.
Returned again in the 1990's and I thought it was a waste of time having gone there.
Personally I don't think I will bother ever going there again.

Was a report on TV within the last couple of weeks how bad
Jenolan Caves House was. Was mention of the dirty sheets and everything you complain about.

I think it has nearly gone broke a couple of times and it has a really bad name . It is a great shame because it could be such a great place to go for a snug winter weekend .
I think I went to school with the guy in control of it . The education did not do him much good !
That is a bummer Mr Fawlty .
Cheers ,
Willie .

Agree with all of the above. We drove to
Oberon for dinner after we realised we'd been "trapped" with 2 kids and an expensive a-la-carte rest. with no kids menu when the snack bar closed at 4:00PM. I don't know who they think they are kidding.

Yeah
well remember my remarks about the management being totally indifferent. The place is now under the control of the NPWS I think but any way I have sent some emails to various people including the NSW Tourism Minister who had a big TV promo running in
Canberra. Now doubt no one gives a shag... but maybe the NSW Taxpayers may revolt cause it is their money being wasted which could be better wasted on other things like the
Cobar to
Broken Hill Tunnel or better superannuation for NSW Pollies, strewth I'm a cynical bastard...
No I recon just don't support
places like this, let em go under! Trouble is then the taxpayer has to end up bailing them out and the kids who work there loose their jobs.
Use to be a great place, I remember back in the late 60's escaping there with a
young woman a few days befor I got shiped out....

We tried complaining too - it got nowhere. I think they were NRMA recommended or something like that at the time.

We had 100% same experience in my live. Woeful place - all up!
We had our honeymoon there and the bleep in bedhead wasnt even bolted to the bed... the heater didnt work, there was one pillow on the 'honeymoon suite' bed, that was barely a double...
When I complained they couldnt give a chit basically said go elsewhere - we have your credit card details...
Then when they tried charging us $70 for 2 days of breakfast (that was included in the deal) that was it. Wife wrote a letter to them demanding a refund which the reply said basically if you dont like it, dont come back.
