Rotary Club of Tully
3 rotary members stayed at the property. Overall, it was a fantastic place to stay. We loved how spacious it is. We enjoyed sitting out on the balconies and it has a nice big yard. There were only 2 problems to report - there is no dryer, like advertised and the water pressure on the second floor is almost too low to take a shower. We are glad though, that we choses Siswi for our Rotary trip.
