Ideal for event we were attending. Great Italian restaurant next door.

Marjorie New Zealand

Italian restaurant below - friendly staff stayed onsite for a later than expected check in. Little newsletter each day to advise weather what’s available and what’s on. Advised a farmers market across the street for sat am (Delish btw) great covid level 2 protocols amazing friendly and informative staff. Free parking. and just a really great stay for an overnight. Great tea and coffee caddy and the bikkies divine - just i could literally walk in after long drive and relax! Also warm wonderfully toasty especially as went for a swim at ocean spa and returned 9:30 pm ish - just delightful!
