wonderful stay
huge bath outdoor patio spacious room
i stayed in room 12 in the cottages and it was fine. it had a huge bath and an outdoor patio with beautiful views. the bed was comfy and the room spacious i had prebooked dinner both nights and the food was wonderful with great beers wines and service
the light bulbs in the premium room could be brighter as the room was quite dark. i think that changing the light bulbs for a brighter type would improve the space. it was the only minor issue

The location was acceptable. It was close to walking tracks.
I was charged extra for tea because they didn't provide enough Earl Grey in the room, a real disappointment. there were no biscuits or snack options available either, which i expected for the price. I felt quite misled.

The staff were very friendly and helpful. The location provided a tranquil and quiet stay..
The steak I ordered at dinner was inedible. It had too much fat and gristle. I also discovered that there was no hairdryer in the room.
