I booked this room for my daughter who was travelling Solo from Perth with her cat, her comments were, OMG this place is amazing, it's those little things that matter, everything felt and smelt like home. Thank you so much I needed this after a long 12 hour drive.

A great place to stay. As a couple we had all the rooms for our use, kitchen area, couldn't have asked for anything, everything was provided, including milk, which wasn't long life. Could not find a single thing to complain about. Queen bed wow we had an amazing sleep. Even our 2 dogs slept well. Breakfast was provided. Everything any guests needed was provided. Shower was fantastic. Christine thank you for providing, a great place for weary travellers to stay. We wish you all the best, your a great host, one of the best places we have ever stayed in, and we have stayed in many, but your place is faultless. Thank you Rod and Jenny
