Helgaardt Australia

I did not have to ask for a walk in shower for my 87 year old mum - the owner Michael suggested a change of room to accommodate her, and it was much appreciated. He also gave permission for mum to take a cutting from a plant she loved in the garden. That is great customer service, and was also appreciated.

Dinner was delicious. Price was reasonable for such a generous serving.
