Bush Spa Getaway
A lovely spot we had a wonderful stay. The spa was fantastic it was a beautiful sunny spot. Great being nestled in the bush. Kitchen facilities were awesome and bedrooms all made up beautifully. Only down points were - Outdoor furniture was all moldy and stained so couldn't sit on it, no table to eat at, it rained a lot of the time, would have been great to have an outdoor table under deck covering. Side of the house was all moldy and the 4th bedroom down the path had no lights to get there and the 4th bedroom little sleep out smelled a bit funky and damp, there was a dehumidifier out there which was going , but the bed out there was tiny and just didn't feel as nice as inside. No TV in the little sleepout lounge a jug and microwave but no glasses or anything out there to have a drink of water. Just thought a bit more care could have gone into the sleep out. Other than that we had a wonderful stay.
