    The breakfast supplies were excellent. We enjoyed using the bbq and sitting outside. Most of what Penola has to offer is within a 15-20 minute walk.

    We only used some of the plentiful continental breakfast, but great to find milk! Quiet air con in every room. So easy to get into the little town. Bed were comfy and windows with fly wire opened. Great washing machine!

    We enjoyed the ten minute stroll to the Royal Oak for dinner - twice! And the dogs loved the back garden. Having bread, coffee etc stocked for us on arrival was great.
