This place was perfectly adequate for a 1 night stopover. I find contactless check-in weird, but in this instance it worked.

A lovely place. We had everything we needed. The only thing I wished for is a lock on the bathroom door which is essential when you need to hideaway from your kids:)

Thanks for staying with us

We liked the quietness we had a unit in the back corner which was very private. The only concern was a damp smell in the bathroom maybe needs attention.

Stayed with a friend for a girls weekend and were easily able to walk to both the lost springs and town. Older room was dated, but very functional and clean. Tapware has all been updated and the shower is amazing! Had a weird glitch where our key didn’t work and we were locked out afterhours. The manager was quick to come rescue us and swap out the key, all within a couple of minutes. Would happily stay again.
