There was an initial problem with our booking. My mother is 81 and needed an accessible bathroom. The room advertised did not have accessibility as advertised online however Tam, at the front desk, went out of her way to make certain that my booking was corrected and that our stay was great. Thank you for wonderful hospitality.

Our room in general was spotlessly clean, however some areas must be missed in the cleaning schedule. When I went to close our curtains on arrival there were a lot of cobwebs on them. The back of the sliding bathroom door had splatters of stuff on it and the inside of the microwave was filthy. Our mattresses were very uncomfortable. You could feel the springs in them every time you moved. Sheets, blankets, quilts were spotless and super warm and comfy. Air-conditioning was perfect. Shower, toilet and basin were spotlessly clean. Kitchenette sinks, cupboards, utensils, floors were super clean. Plenty of parking and lovely quiet area. We enjoyed our stay, but because of the uncomfortable mattresses we probably won't stay again.

RONALD

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The room and facilities generally were quite good. However there was a bit of a smell emanating from the bathroom, which I suspect was due to poor drainage outside. The chap checking us in offered us discounts on wine but didn't say where breakfast was. Also the driveway to the reception is in urgent need of repair. Apart from those 3 issues the site was quite good
