Large Hotel situated in a great location with convenient access to all national park attractions. Ample car parking and public transport available within easy reach. Accommodation situated on the ground floor is somewhat tired although no complaints regarding cleanliness was offered. Good selection of food and beverages are provided. 2 good nights sleep was had.
