Comfy stay at Waratah

The property is in a great location, easy access, close to amenities and the pub. Chris was helpful to make our stay as comfortable as possible. Couldn't find the platypus in the lake though!

A hiccup with Checking in but all taken care of in a relative short time, and the Host was very apologetic and incredibly organised in how he managed the situation. Very pleasant Host, great location and ammenities, lovely and warm on the cold winter days and snug dry and warm when it was raining. Set up is all you need, and to have such a lovely place to stay with my dogs, and be so warmly welcomed our three night stay was terrific. The bed for me was very comfortable I had great nights sleep. I will be back to stay with my dogs in the future. thanks so Much Chris. My dogs and I had a wonderful, and very restful time due to how great your place is. The Location is central and a short walk to the Hotel and the Roadhouse, the platypus lake and a lovely walk for humans and dogs. Quiet, peaceful, with good parking, very comfortable lounge dinning area. The lighting for if you come in after dark is great too. We will be back.
