Gary is a great host & looks after his customers. Plenty of room to get your own space & loved the freshly baked scones for beaky. Facilities were clean & tidy. Would definitely recommend staying here.

Quiet and clean place to stay with my family. Easy to get to town, and within my budget to stay with 2 adults and 2 kids in the family room. Would definitely stay again :)
