We stayed for one night, with my Mother and my two kids aged 2 and 5. The owners have acquired the business over the last month or so and are making genuine efforts to upgrade the facilities and do best by their customers. Super friendly staff. Spotlessly clean with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Fit out is basic but they are upgrading it currently and I imagine that the next time we stay, it will be even better. Thanks for an enjoyable little getaway. We will see you next time!

An older style unit that was adequate for our 1 night stay..On the main road in, away from the town centre. The bed was comfy, the unit was clean with cooking facilities. A large grass area saw children playing

Good value for money

I spent 4 nights here. The room was comfortable although a little dated. It has everything you need. There is also a guest laundry and a BBQ to use. Lovely view to the mountains. The town centre is only a short drive away. There is a supermarket and petrol station nearby.
