Beautiful property in somewhat isolated area. Very friendly and accommodating staff. Only regret did not allow enough time to enjoy the property. The restaurant does not offer ala carte choice but requests can be accommodated.

The staff went out of their way to make us feel welcome. The buffet style breakfast and dinner was excellent. They sent us off with a packed lunch so we can maximise our time in the National Park we visited. The accommodation was top class and well worth the money.
