Australian Idol

Aussie Idol finalist Lee Harding loves the Maze!! Lee has stayed here twice with us & the staff even made him sing for his key deposit. We wouldn't let him check out & get his deposit back unless he belted out a whole tune for us, and even then we knew he'd be a big star. Lee loves to party -- and he chose very well by staying at the Maze! Why not ask to stay in one of the "Lee Harding rooms?" We do suggest this for die-hard fans only!! ;) Australian Idol
