location is great - next door to local pub. the place was clean and the beds were comfortable.

Nicole Australia

The location was perfect for us as a group, as we wanted a quiet out of the way place for the long weekend, but with access to a hotel for meals. we only had to walk about 20 metres from our unit to the front door of the local pub, great food, cold beer and very friendly locals.

Alan Australia

Very unique peaceful location. Away from the crowds.

John Australia

Clean, value for money. Suited our purposes for one night as we drove through on our road trip.
