Very clean and spacious
Extremely clean and in good working order. Linen and sheets all crispy clean. Very spacious layout. We booked a queen bed and twin bed set up for 3 people and we were not falling over each other or our bags. Table was set for 3. Tea and coffee making was included with ample tea bags for 2 days for 3 people and a complimentary pack of biscuits - a very nice touch. Also included were 2 small tetra pack of milk. Kitchen kit for cleaning came in sealed packs.

This hotel was exceptional! It was one of the best we've ever stayed at! The bed and pillows were extremely comfortable, the jacuzzi tub was wonderful, and the surroundings were so peaceful! We loved sitting at the cafe table outside with our coffee watching all the beautiful birds! Parking was free and easy, there was all the creature comforts provided (microwave, fridge, water kettle, cookies and coffee, etc), and the room was very clean. We were close by lots of fun wildlife activities, and there were lots of dining options. We had a fun and relaxing visit here, and would definitely go back! I highly recommend this place!
