Easy parking. Quiet location with some rooms well away from the main highway in their own specific area. Simple but well appointed rooms with comfortable beds. Excellent onsite restaurant.

We had called ahead to ask for an early check in as had a function to attend at checkin time. Staff were accommodating and we checked in half an hour early. Checkin was quick and easy as we had prepaid via Wotif. Clean, tidy, and enough space for what we needed. Toilet is a little tight against the wall in the bathroom so may impact bigger people.
Didn’t receive a bath mat on the second night so had to use a hand towel but otherwise everything was as expected from our last stay. Disappointed we couldn’t get a dinner booking once again so would recommend anyone wishing to dine in the restaurant to book well in advance!

Everything in one place
Excellent service, great restaurant for dinner/breakfast located on site. Conveniently located just on the outskirts of Gore.
Room was noisier than I expected with road noise as close to 100kmph highway.

Staff were excellent even servicing on Xmas Day! Stayed in one of the cabin style lodges and we were very impressed! The cabin was modern, spacious and had everything we needed for our stay. We dined in the main lodge and had the Xmas Day Buffet lunch with family that live locally. Unfortunately we couldn’t get in for dinner at the restaurant as didn’t have a booking but the bar food was suffice and the lady behind the bar was fabulous and accommodating. Nice quiet spot with pretty gardens. Would happily stay again.
