We stayed for 5 nights with our biys who are 6 and 8. Everything that we needed was there. Our room was serviced every day. There were DVDs that we could use to finish off a busy day. It is so close to town. We highly recommend this place.

Very basic room. Staff were accomodating with late check in. Big sign out the front saying rooms $105 a night... We were charged $175. Seems we overpaid with our bargain check in?!?

Great location, lovely view, clean and tidy unit. The only down side was the people in the next unit were smokers and the smoke wafted across and we had to close the windows and door to keep the smoke out.

Big room, plenty of space. Milk in the morning, there was a place for cooking and even a microwave! Just a bit too cold in the winter. The heater was full on but the room did not warm up.

Great Place for a Family Vacation

We stayed for one night with our three teenage boys in a one bedroom cabin. It was well appointed and had plenty of room with a covered outdoor area equip with a BBQ. The only complaint was that the wifi was a bit hit and miss but that just gave us more reason to drag the kids outside for that IRL experience. We would definitely recommend and will be returning for a longer stay soon.
