An aging property depending on local events and functions more than room revenues to survive. Room fixtures are dated and worn. Plumbing was sluggish to drain. Outdoor areas are also dated and could use a refresh. The live-in Monitor lizard was a surprise. Food & Beverage was a bright spot with good offerings at reasonable prices.

Comfortable and excellent ambience

Lovely hotel, colonial feel and steeped in history. Very comfortable and spacious room, lovely swimming pool and pool bar area. Good choice of food for breakfast. The hotel is surrounded by trees and plants giving a rural and quiet location dispite the main town being just 1km away.
