AustraliaNice quiet place, plenty of space in kitchens. The staff was fabulous, they walked us through all the options for the tours we wanted and gave us their recommendations - and when one of the operators canceled the tour at 6pm the day before, they helped us secure a last minute booking with a different operator.

United States of AmericaI was greeted and welcomed by the owner and his lovely dogs. Puppy cuddles after a long journey really is the best. I had a great sleep in a comfortable bed, the best sleep I’ve had in a long time. Will definitely stay again. 🙂
