Lovely stay. Not too far from town but worth the stay for the beautiful view. Friendly staff from reception to housekeeping to the dinner/breakfast serving staff. Parking was $15 but everyday we had a parking spot so I reckon it’s worth it to keep your car safe especially if you’re getting a rental. Everyone made my 2 children feel so comfortable, our room was spacious and spotless when we came ba...

The rooms themselves were pleasant, nicely furnished, with comfortable beds and a generally clean environment. However, the ...
