The position of our cabin was great being right away from the main highway. The cabin itself was in need of some maintenance ie dripping taps and could do with some updating but was nonetheless very comfortable. The property is in a fabulous position and within walking distance to the main attractions.

Amazing! Staff were fantastic, property was beautiful. Inside our cabin was clean and fresh with the air con on for us. Was the only place we felt comfortable using the bedding supplied in our entire trip across Australia! Reception also has giftware that was affordable. I bought a bullwhip for $180 and is of high quality. Would definitely stay here again!!
