Loved our stay even though it was only one night. We are two ladies in their late 60's, we felt very safe. We booked a family room, plenty of room for us, toilets and showers close by. Very clean facilities and very friendly. Would recommend and would stay again, very relaxing.

Staff are so friendly and informative about what there is to do around the Tablelands. We stayed in one of the private rooms with aircon and it was really clean. Showers were amazing. The area in which you cook/eat, hangout and toilets were always spotless. Would recommend to anyone, and planning our next stay already!
