It is marketed as a five star which it isn't as the furniture is dated the carpets in need of cleaning or replacing and the bookingsite did not show there were pets on the premises

Beautiful grounds with backdrop of mountains in a modern town with its great hot pools. Very peaceful zen- woo woo setting with inspirational sayings on the walls. Steve, the owner cooks a large tasty and artfully prepared breakfast. Ten minutes from the town. The apartment is huge with fully equipped kitchen and a/c- heat. Comfortable bed with quality linens.

Nice peeps crappy bed

Unfortunately there was a few things that spoiled our time at this retreat, but the main one was the extremely hard bed, I had too sleep in the lounge and my wife wanted to sleep on the floor as a more comfortable option.This was our 10th wedding aniversary and the worst sleep ever! Also there was no tv in the bed room just a projector which was hard to see at the best of times, plus it projected half over a door making it all destorted. Apart from that and a slimy feeling spa pool it was ok.

Wonderful experience, from start to finish.

We arrived in the afternoon on a Saturday and was greeted very warmly a young gentleman his friendly dog. After being introduced to his lovely wife, we were then shown around the property and then our cottage, which we thought was very spacious, clean and very comfortable. It had a lovely feel in the cottage which was very quiet, calm and relaxing.Which was on a par as the fantastic massage that my husband and I received. You can choose from many different massages, which specialize in "Pampering Holistic Care which leave you incredible relaxed and rejuvenated. We both would highly recommend having a massage. We then had a quick lie down on one of the comfy beds before heading out for dinner. Upon waking from a great nights sleep, we then headed back into the eating area for the best breakfast which is cooked organically and can be catered for the Gluten free. What a great way to start the day. We will definitely return for a longer trip next time,

Great B&B

Surprised when we got there to find this was a B&B rather than the motel expected. Pleasantly surprised at the hospitality though. Breakfast was awesome. Only downside was no ensuite, having to share bathroom with hosts.

We could not speak highly enough of our hosts Linz and Jo. They welcomed us warmly and ensured we had everything we needed. The bed was very comfortable and the breakfasts delightful. Not to mention the peaceful and tranquil setting. We would highly recommend a stay here. You will not be disappointed.

Disappointing

The room we stayed in was disappointing. The bed was uncomfortable, and the furniture & room decor were outdated. We were not told until we arrived that it was not an ensuite. The bathroom was far from our room on the other side of the house past the kitchen. The breakfast was good and the owners were very friendly, but we felt that it was overpriced for what we actually got.
