"Loved everything about Mingara. The accommodation was excellent. Staff were very friendly and helpful. We had undercover security parking which is a big plus for me. The Mingara club experience was excellent also. We had breakfast and dinner there. Service each morning for breakfast was very good and the food was very nice. It was very crowded at 6pm for dinner and the lines to the bar were long. That wasn't so good. We also took our three grandchildren (3, 5 & 9) took the Mingara aquatic centre which was amazing. Heated water a rapid type waterway which the kids loved. We are planning our next trip back to Mingara already."
