It is a clean, light and airy property where you will never tire of the view..magnificent. Modern bathrooms with great water pressure and most importantly a very comfortable bed. A bottle of red on arrival was much appreciated. We had an extremely relaxing stay. Location wise, its not far to head into town or even to the coast for the day. Fitzroy Falls, Berry and Robertson are also close by. Plenty to see and do .. or not! ##### Melissa M. Stayed 5 nights in Jan 2024 ---
