The location was beautiful and had lovely water views however the facilities need updating eg.showerheads with poor water accessibility and general room fixtures need replacing. No drinking water available on site due to tea trees located in/near springs making water undrinkable. Bottled water was readily provided. Hotel/bistro prices were expensive.
