Clean, good location and friendly staff.

Friendly welcoming host. Room spacious and clean. Light breakfast in morning very nice. Handy to Hot pools that are well worth a visit. Only issue was our room in main lodge backed onto a shower in the room next door so as walls thin when shower was run it was woke you in morning.
