What guests liked
The restaurant served excellent food with attentive staff and great service. (11 reviews)
Breakfast was delicious and highly enjoyed by guests. (3 reviews)
We had a pleasant two night stay. Our room was close to the road so was a bit noisy during the day and evening. The restaurant was a good experience. I enjoyed my Barramundi but my wife felt the gnocchi was disappointing. YMMV
