The owners are very nice. I wish I got to stay longer and enjoy the pool and lounge in my patio or in the room. Very cozy to sleep with a window ajar and listen to the morning or evening buzz of the breeze. Very friendly patrons.

Excellent accommodation which was stylish & comfortable with lots of extra touches. The swimming pool was lovely & well maintained with views overlooking the river. The hot tub was fantastic & the BQ was an added bonus. Ken & Del who manage the accommodation gave us lots of local information & recommendations and made our stay here memorable. Definitely a 5 star stay we didn't want to leave. We also fell in love with the Coromondal beaches & surroundings & will hopefully be back soon!
