We had a lovely stay, staff were friendly and accommodating. The beds were very clean and comfortable, and so was the room. The pool was very refreshing after such a long drive. We had to leave very early in the morning, as we had to get to Adelaide. We’re looking forward to staying again on the 19th January, and this time we won’t be leaving early. Thank you for a wonderful stay.
