What a view. Amazing. The room was a good size and clean. Bbq was not working but a call had them working the next day. Pool is nice but smaller than the photos show. Would stay again. It was a shock to drive up a dirt road and see water tank and radio towers and we thought the GPS was playing up. But then we turned into the property.

The 2 bedroom room was amazing for size. The view over mountains was amazing. Rubbish found under the bed. Dusty window seals. Outdoor table and chairs had cob webs. They didn’t leave remote controls for the aircons. So couldn’t adjust. Had to call after hours. Mac was amazing and came out. But the aircons turned off after a few hours. Bedrooms was freezing. Folded up Tables and a big white board was left in the main area which wasn’t ideal with a little one.
