Beautiful setting- peaceful- cozy- relaxing. Will Be Back for a longer stay. One night not enough! ! Thanks Julie & Brett, TYENNA
"Great quality for the price, very clean and exceptionally well equipped. Great friendly service from the owner who even took the time to light the fire for us. Great range of board games and cards - considering it rained the whole time we were there they were a very welcome gesture. Free eggs were given to us fresh from the chooks which was also a lovely gesture. Highly recommended as a place to stay and by far one of the friendliest owners of accomodation we have had the pleasure of staying with. Dennis even made arrangements to have a bag that we left behind transported to a convenint place for us to collect. Rare service indeed. "
"No improvements required - perfect as is."
