Verified reviewgood

Clean rooms and comfortable beds with quality linen. The room had a fireplace (although we could not get the flames going). Kitchenette with a bar fridge, crockery and cutlery microwave - so you could make simple meals. Lovely views over mowed lawns, enough parking for car with trailers/bicycles and a fishing dam. Friendly staff. Dinner at the pleasant eating place just down the lawn.

Absolutely beautiful venue with very friendly staff. The rooms are amazing, the food is amazing, the views are breathtaking and the walking trails are grounding. I would stay there again for longer.
