"My small 'single' room with a double bed was tucked in beside the office, and seemed to me to be a rcent addition in a spare space in the administrative block. Lots of road noise with carpark outside the one small window for the room. It was very hot throughout the day untill early hours of morning. Also hearing a fan motor continuously running during the nights. Room was spotless. "

"Shouted the hubby one night away without the kids. Only an hour away from where we live. Amazing view, so nice & peaceful. Only downfall was the driveway to the place was narrow & we could not see upcoming vehicles approaching around the windy roads. The meals were overpriced a three course dinner (small portions) was $118 & breakfast was a-lot more. Otherwise overall a nice short getaway."
