Helpful friendly staff and our 2 rooms were recently renovated although furniture was a bit tired. Had a nice view but balconies old.Overall the property needed a major external renovation and the garden an overhaul. Overpriced for standard of property compared to others we stayed at during our 4 day road trip.

View was great even on ground floor. Loved that the 2 beds were in separate areas of the room. Unit is older than expected but very comfortable. Only down was no dessert/cereal bowls. Travelled during fires so was pleased Hostess stayed in contact with us before we arrived re situation.
