4.0 star property
9.4 out of 10, Exceptional, 3 reviews
"My brother and I got my parents the Easter long weekend up here for their Christmas present and they just came home raving about how amazing it was. The room was well stocked, the staff were lovely, the views were beautiful (my dad described being able to see the moon rise as the sun set because they could see all the way to the horizon). My parents are very well travelled people, but my mum sent me a text telling me it was possibly the best place they’ve ever stayed. Thank you to the lovey team...
